The series traces the story of a cop hunting down a kidnapped girl that leads him to unravel a prostitution ring. He was given a timeline to find the girl and with each step in his journey that he wastes not finding the girl, he would be closer to his death.
At the center of the plot are Assi (Zahavi) and Nivi (Yuval Sharaf), divorced parents of a girl with a rare form of epilepsy (Emmanuel Pepper, the real daughter of Uri Viyal). No medicine can control this epilepsy except for special cannabis oil, which she receives as part of a clinical study and prevents her from brain damage (in the role of researcher: Alma Dishi). A frightening event in the premiere episode leads to the termination of the research, and the cannabis strain in question is confiscated and sent to be destroyed in a truck. This truck, and what is waiting for it, are the key to the continuation of the affair.
When Jari Aarnio was younger, he was honored as ‘Police Officer of the Year’, and quickly became Chief of the Narcotics Squad. The Squad boasted quick results and flashy confiscations. Aarnio’s reputation as a hero cop grew when he used a pair of garden sheers to diffuse a grenade which was tossed into his backyard by a vengeful criminal. Now, the hero cop is in prison, serving a maximum sentence. King Liar follows how Aarnio’s abuse of power was discovered through hard work and persistent investigation by Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation (KRP) and two reporters from the country’s largest newspaper. Together, they uncovered the most unbelievable tale of crime, bribery, prostitution, drug trafficking, and money laundering. When he was arrested, Aarnio denied all charges and tried to use his allies in the police department, media, and even the government to make it all seem like a witch hunt orchestrated by the KRP.
