Alarm dispatcher and former police officer Asger Holm answers an emergency call from a kidnapped woman. When the call is suddenly disconnected, the search for the woman and her kidnapper begins. With the phone as his only tool, Asger enters a race against time to save the endangered woman. But soon he realizes that he is dealing with a crime that is far bigger than he first thought.

Winner of the Audience Award at Sundance and Rotterdam, The Guilty demands attention with crisp, building tension that puts the audience's imagination to work.
