A tense crime thriller about two brothers in over their heads with a drug smuggling scheme that spirals into desperation and moral compromise.

In an attempt to fix his financial problems, Erik recruits his brother, Atli, to help him import a shipment of cocaine into Iceland. Erik thinks he's got things all figured out, until the young Polish “mule” they've hired is unable to pass the drugs through her system.
