Björn Skifs played the lead role as Conny Rundqvist/Rutger Jönåker in Jonas Frick's action comedy "Mess" from 1988. In the new version, the story takes a different turn, but the basic premise is the same: Filip Berg plays a man who from inside the prison tries to find the real perpetrator since he was wrongly convicted of murder. A tunnel to freedom and a friendly police officer (Amy Deasismont) help him.
