R

Rune, a young and arrogant criminal, is sentenced to serve time in a notorious Danish prison. He quickly learns that survival in this harsh environment depends on understanding the unspoken rules and codes of conduct that govern the inmates' lives. Rune forms an unlikely friendship with Rachid, a young Muslim prisoner, and together they devise a plan to smuggle drugs into the prison. As their operation grows, they gain respect and power among their fellow inmates, but also attract unwanted attention from those who seek to exploit their success. Will their friendship and ingenuity be enough to protect them from the dangerous world they inhabit?
