After six years in prison, Leo Duvnjac is free. Prosecuted for numerous crimes, he was convicted of just two robberies in the end. Unreformed, Leo has spent his imprisonment plotting one final heist. The plan is to steal more than 100 million Swedish crowns from Sweden's largest police station --- and then disappear forever. It is a decision that will threaten what remains of his relationships with his father and brothers, who also went to prison for the earlier robberies, and set him on a collision course with the aggressive cop who sent them to jail. Detective John Broncks quickly figures out that the newly released Leo is up to something and vows to stop him, no matter what rules have to be broken.

THE FATHER is inspired by the extraordinary true story of three brothers who committed 10 audacious bank robberies in Sweden over the course of just two years. None had committed a crime before, and all were under 24 years old. When their incredible spree had come to an end amid the glare of the international media, all of them would be changed forever as individuals and as a family. This intoxicating, heartbreaking thriller tells the story of how three boys are transformed over the course of their lives from innocent children to the most wanted criminals in Sweden. And of the man who made them that way: their father.
