An objective, fictional and completely true account of when the Sockerdricka rush wears off and our most beloved characters have to grow up. We meet a forgotten Pippi Longstocking, the traumatized financial shark Alfie Atkins and a bitter Karlsson-on-the-Roof who has been banned from flying. But what is really left when the spotlights go out and the game is over? Jimmy Olsson, who was once Sweden's foremost investigative journalist, decides to get to the bottom of this central question.

The lives of an ambitious businesswoman, a charming gang enforcer and a troubled teen collide amidst a desperate — and sinister — pursuit of wealth.
