Upstanding community leader Nils has just won an award for "Citizen of the Year" when he learns the news that his son has died of a heroin overdose. Suspecting foul play, Nils begins to investigate, and soon finds himself at the center of an escalating underworld gang war between Serbian drug dealers and a sociopathic criminal mastermind known only as “The Count.”

Led by Stellan Skarsgård's hangdog charm, In Order of Disappearance is a wintry thriller with satisfying intelligence -- and more than a few dark laughs.
