Sharp-suited Erik represents the aspirational face of modern Iceland. His brother Atli, a petty criminal just released from prison, is stuck in a downward spiral. However, the distance between these two very different brothers vanishes when they team up to smuggle cocaine into Iceland, inside plastic pellets swallowed by a young Polish mule, Sofia.
