Nikolaj and Martin get their adrenalin rush driving fast cars in illegal street races. One night turns fatal as at top speed, they hit and cause the death of a young girl. Struck by panic they decide to lie about their street racing in court and deny that the accident happened because of their reckless behaviour. Martin gets convicted while Nikolaj walks free. Feeling guilty about what happened to his best friend, Nikolaj will do anything to make amends, but when Martin’s girlfriend reaches out for his help everything spins out of control. Soon Nikolaj is forced to face the consequences of his own lies.

Karl and his mother move from the very fundamentally Christian area of Hvide Sande on the west coast of Jutland, to the ethnically (and religiously) mixed area of Nørrebro inside Copenhagen. Sawsan, a young Islamic girl in Karl’s class, takes him under her caring wings and tries to integrate him into the big city - with all it’s slang and hipness. Sawsan is far more experienced and blunt than you’ll normally see amongst her peers, but also in comparison with this young Danish boy from darkest Jutland. That is, until her big dream comes true and one of her homemade songs is chosen for the Danish MGP for kids. Her father of course says 'NO!', but Karl has other plans..!
