A gritty crime drama about immigrant youth in Oslo whose search for belonging and respect leads them down a path of escalating violence and criminality.

Three young immigrant boys, Wasim, Riaz and Munawar, come of age in the east end of Oslo, Norway. They find school boring and become attracted to the hard boiled gang East Side Crew, run by brothers Sadiq and Khalid. Petty theft soon develops into drug dealing, violence and murder.
