What it’s about. After all the successes of his band De Hûnekop, singer Emiel Stoffers has become an arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, misogynistic, homophobic, coke-snorting misanthrope. He has also picked up a homeless person from the street to do all kinds of odd jobs for him. Meanwhile, under suspicious circumstances, more and more Fryske artists are dying. Later, it turns out that a serial killer is on the loose. Detective Goaitske van Goaitsen investigates the case and warns Emiel. He falls head over heels for her.
