At the same time, minor crook Jorge (Varela) knows that if he can pull off one last cocaine deal, all his worries will be over. As the two protagonists paths prepare to cross, Jorge discovers that time is not on his side, as the police and the Serbian mafia, in the shape of ruthless enforcer Mrado (Mrsic), begin to close in.

Babak Najafi directs the second instalment of this gritty Swedish crime thriller based on the novels by Jens Lapidus. After serving three years for drug trafficking in Norrtälje Prison, former cash-hungry business student Johan (Joel Kinnaman) is determined to get his life back on track. But that all changes with the arrival in prison of Mrado Slovovic (Dragomir Mrsic), a Serbian mafia member whose big time drug deal with Johan failed due to the involvement of Johan's friend and local coke dealer Jorge (Matias Varela). Now out on day-release, Johan's only chance of returning to a normal life rests in seeking out his former friend and forcing him to give back the mafia's money. Unfortunately for Johan, however, he's not the only one looking for Jorge.
