A darkly comedic crime thriller about greed and chaos, where an innocent man wakes up in a bloodbath and must navigate a web of violence and suspicion triggered by a lottery windfall.

Terrified and bloody, Oscar Svendsen awakes clinched to a shotgun in a strippers joint. Around him 8 dead men, and police aiming at him. To Oscar it's clear that he is innocent. It all started when four chaps won 1,7 million on the pools.
