Synopsis
Sten Sture Nykvist, son till den beryktade busen storhajen växer upp i femtiotalets Nyfors, en fattig arbetarstadsdel i Eskilstuna. Han går livets hårda väg som en hederlig hälare och mördare med hög moral. Lagom till pensionen kommer han i konflikt med den somaliska maffian, en grupp som saknar både anständighet och känslor i det nya kalla Eskilstuna. Åsa, vars man belånat villan, tömt familjens alla tillgångar och flyttat till Thailand. Åsa reser sig sakta ur förnedringen och alla skulder, men hon ger inte upp. Mikael spelar på den ökända svartklubben som drivs av den jugoslaviska maffian. Skulderna ökar till astronomiska belopp, till slut finns det bara en sak att göra.
