Computer whizz-kid VESA LEVOLA is a decent young man with a promising career who unexpectedly ends up in prison after becoming involved in a street fight. In prison Vesa ends up working for the kingpin of the criminal world, who runs a drug-trafficking organization from behind bars.
The Underworld Trilogy is an uncompromising glimpse into transnational organized crime through the lives of three different people – a prisoner, a cop and a lawyer – who find themselves caught up in circumstances beyond their control.
Set in Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Helsinki, these three independent, yet interconnected mini-series offer a thought-provoking observation into the links between the penal system, drug-trafficking and money laundering.
Make one wrong decision. Pay the price for the rest of your life. Welcome to the harsh realities that dictate the rules of the criminal underworld.
