What you need to know before your trail

Tomislav Bokšić, or “Toxic” as he is also known, has a flawless record as hitman for the Croatian mafia in New York.

But when one hit goes badly wrong and he kills the wrong guy, he is forced to leave the US and head to Reykjavik disguised as an American televangelist named Father Friendly.

This place could not be more different from where he’s from – there are no guns, no traditions at all of the kind he is used to,with all the space and time in the world to consider and reflect on his past and his part in the world. This could either be the start of something good for him, or it could go horribly wrong

Churches in Reykjavík

There are many churches and a nice cathedral in the city so two are on the map above. However the gems here are not the landscape – but the contrast between pure and innocent from the gun toting US to the gun-free Icelandic city.

“When the Norwegian vikings discovered Iceland in some year before 1000, they ground Irish monks up there, who’d already named the land Island, or the Land of Christ, for Jesus was Isu in their language. The Vikings however , too the savior for Ice.I’m glad they did . Or else I’d be travelling to Christland.”
