In the customs laboratory, chemist Gine works to uncover both old and ever-new narcotic substances. We get to join Jørgen at Svinesund when he scans the cars of criminal couriers and masterminds. Somewhere in Norway someone has to manage without green pills at a party and more than a hundred thousand cigarettes are picked up on a scanner and never make it across the border.

As one of the richest countries in the world, there are many who apply to Norway. Some to get a better life, some to work and some with slightly less honorable intentions. At Svinesund we meet some destinies that need more care than punishment, and at Oslo Airport Gardermoen the drug hunter Changiz meets fortune hunters at both ends of the scale. One is fleeing his home country and the other has a suitcase full of illegal goods.
