Former Mafia boss Frank Tagliano is placed in to the Federal Witness Protection Program after giving evidence against his main rival. He decides to start a new life in Lilyhammer, Norway.
The spelling of the series title alludes to Tagliano’s dog Lily, and the way that Frank and some other anglophones pronounce the town’s name.
