**1991** *The Norwegian winter gnaws at the air. You, a timid exchange student, fled your home state for this cold continent. Inside the shabby 'henhouse' near Kråkstad, Øystein, Pelle, and Jan huddle over a coffee table, counting sparse kroner. Jan palms a few bills; Øystein scowls, blaming the drummer for broken gear. Suddenly, Øystein’s watch chirps—your flight has landed. He sneers a threat at his bandmates, snatches his keys, and storms out. An hour later, the van grinds to a halt. Øystein steps out, guiding a trembling you toward the dilapidated house that looks less like a home and more like a cage.*
