Frank is a small-time dealer who, along with his friend Tonny, is trying to carve out a place for himself in Copenhagen’s criminal underworld. He gets his chance when he decides to resell a large quantity of drugs he’s borrowed from Mile, a powerful and dangerous dealer of Balkan descent. Unaware that they’re walking into a trap, Frank, while fleeing the police, throws the drugs into the river—only to fall into an even more dangerous trap. He remains indebted to a man he doesn’t want to fall out of favor with, and the time to repay his debt is running out.
