Detectives and best friends Andreas and Simon lead vastly different

while Simon, recently divorced, spends most of his waking hours
getting drunk at the local strip club. But all that changes when the
two of them are called out to a domestic dispute between a junkie
couple, caught in a vicious cycle of violence and drugs. It all looks
very routine – until Andreas finds the couple’s infant son, crying in
a closet. The usually collected policeman finds himself confronted
with his own powerlessness and is shaken to his core. As Andreas
slowly loses his grip on justice, it suddenly becomes up to the unruly
Simon to restore the balance between right and wrong.
