Set in Camp Thule, an abandoned U.S, military barracks outside Reykjavik, the story follows the fortunes and misfortunes of family outcasts: Karolina, a demon-sniffing fortune teller, Toomy, her soft-spoken husband, and their two grown grandsons, Baddi and Danni. When their flirty mother marries an American GI and moves to Kansas, Baddi visits her and returns to Devil's Island a pompadoured, Elvis wannabe with a rock n' roll attitude to go with his new look. But is Iceland prepared for "The King?"
