A detective working with the narcotics unit of the Stockholm police, PEKKA MANNINEN is called to Finland with the task of charting the route via which heroin is smuggled from St. Petersburg to Finland and the rest of the world. The Helsinki police department's narcotics unit has already been on the case with no results, and so the rough-and-ready Manninen goes undercover into a Russian drug operation. Treading the fine line between the legal and the illegal, Manninen begins to confuse the roles of police officer and criminal, until he goes too far and there's no turning back. Set in Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Helsinki, the Underworld Trilogy tells three stories about drug trafficking and money laundering in the criminal world: the Cop, the Lawyer and the Prisoner. Each story is an uncompromising and thought-provoking thriller and, at the same time, an independent miniseries.
