“Headhunters” takes place in the time before Jo Nesbø's novel and the film adaptation of the popular novel of the same name. In the series, we follow Roger Brown, played by Axel Bøyum, a headhunter who both lies and manipulates himself ahead, in both his working life and love life. But a lie leads to a new lie and soon he is caught in a web of lies that endangers both himself and his loved ones.
