[1] Nigel (Morten Vogelius) is an incompetent criminal who flees his native England to Copenhagen in order to escape the loan sharks who are after him.

He and his wife Maria (Jette Philipsen) shack up at a hotel, while each struggles separately with a drug problem.

Maria manages to get a straight job, and Nigel gets a gig storing illegal goods for a local crime boss known as the President (Peter Ottesen).

Things heat up when Nigel falls for Tanya (Gry Bay), a hooker who works for the President, and their affair makes him ever more distant from Maria.

The stage is set for a sex and violence-fueled descent into mayhem as the plot twists and secrets are revealed.
