For 17-year-old Ida, her sister-in-law Michelle, and Michelle’s friend Cecilie, the end of their party vacation in Bolivia turns into a nightmare. Accused of smuggling cocaine, they are sentenced to life behind bars—in one of the poorest and most brutal women’s prisons in the country. Even worse for the three young Norwegian women and their families: the hoped-for help from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs fails to materialize, so the strong bond between the three is soon put to the toughest test of all. For when it soon becomes clear that each must fight for herself, a journalist from a men’s magazine and an eccentric mercenary become Ida’s unexpected allies. With a daring escape plan, she risks everything and is ultimately faced with the crucial question of whether she can make it safely back home or whether the jungle will become her final prison. Based on true events, the six-part series is a young-adult thriller set in Bolivia and Norway, a moving story about naivety and friendship, love and guilt.
