This film tells the story of a group of young, marginalized people who live in Reykjavik, our only present-day heroes: small-time thieves, swindlers, drug addicts who have lost all sense of reality. Jim and Frank, two long-standing friends who are almost in their thirties, meet up again after many years. Jim, who is trying to start a new life, is brought back into the tunnel of crime and drugs by Frank and his neighborhood friends. Their aim is to help Frank's brother escape from prison. In exchange, Frank's brother will give them a free trip to Amsterdam.
