Sales executive and serial predator Carl Victor senses opportunity when his London-bound flight is diverted to Reykjavik. Airport staff place him at Hotel Icelandica where his young hostess, Hanne Leifsdottir, seems the perfect quarry. Hanne’s shy reticence weakens over dinner and drinks. Victor can taste success.

He is in for a surprise. Hanne Leifsdottir is no ordinary hostess. Hotel Icelandica is no ordinary hotel.
