It's Cecilie's birthday, and she and her boyfriend Erik have invited her old friend Marie to their summer house with her new boyfriend Joakim. Everything is perfect: the weather, the house, the lunch table, and the garden. But Joakim has brought more than just clothes for the weekend.

The unflinching tale of Maria, Allan and Steso, who are struggling for survival. Maria is a pusher frau, wandering restlessly among addicts, abusers and bikers in a relentless search for love. Allan has just returned from an ill-fated trip across the Pacific and must reclaim his life and stay clean, but ghosts from his past return to haunt him. Steso, the intellectual, god-forsaken and prophetic cynic, does his utmost to unite the two polar opposites that give meaning to his life: his girl and drugs. All three try desperately to make some sense of the madness, but how do you find meaning in the chaos that is life? And how do you find love if you can't recognize it?
