Sten Lundager was one of Denmark's biggest hashish smugglers. He lived the good life and made lots of money, but life as a criminal came at a great cost to himself and others. The smuggler's life begins in the 60s, when he gets tired of life as an apprentice painter in a sleepy Copenhagen suburb. All around him, the youth rebellion is in full swing, and a new lifestyle is spreading with collectives, hippies, free sex, hashish and the cultivation of Eastern mysticism. Like many of his peers, Sten goes to Afghanistan and India, but when he returns home, he ditches the hippie life and makes a decision that will make him a hash king. He teaches Moroccan farmers how to make hashish and smuggles it to Denmark under the noses of the police, who have barely heard of the new drug. He shovels in money and mingles with the Danish jet set and foreign rock stars at the famous "Club 17". But the life of a smuggler has its price. He lies to family and friends and the police are gearing up in the fight against the hashish traffickers.
