Every one of his family members is a prime suspect in his death, and each episode centers on a different person and their potential motive as they share their own perspectives of the night of Otto\u2019s murder. Across eight episodes, long-buried secrets come to light and dark truths about the powerful man are unearthed before the final reveal.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; max-width: 690px;\">\r\n \t                <div style=\"padding-top: 56.2504%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<video data-video-id=\"6368832818112\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-account=\"1120308147\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id \r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"video-js\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tcontrols=\"\"\r\n                    loop autoplay\r\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px;\"><\/div><\/video>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/1120308147\/default_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The series is written by Birk Rohelend (<em>The Pillow Club<\/em>) and directed by Ren\u00e9 Vilbre (<em>Class Reunion<\/em>), with a cast made up of Estonian stars.
