ABOUT

Set in suburban Norway during the early 2000s, LAN follows fourteen-year-old William, a lonely teen who hides his insecurity behind arrogance. When he discovers his best friend Sam has arranged a LAN party without inviting him, he shows up anyways. As an uneasy tension rises, William decides the best way to prove himself is to best them all in a game of 8v1.
