Two years have passed since we last saw Nicky and Alf, which we follow into the third season against the organized hash crime money cycle. PTSD-affected Alf has got a new job in the police's expert group; Task Force Nørrebro, while Nicky has gone from being P's handrail to being in the industry as big smugglers. He also runs a functional laundering machine through a juice bar and dreams of a large house on the Spanish coastline. Alf dreams of his colleague Isa, but life rarely goes as planned. Nicky gets a folder with some information that reveals an unpleasant truth about his son, and Alf must keep secret his relationship with Isa as he is to lead a case of a mysterious find in a basement.

When Anna finds out that Nete has plans to co-operate with the police, she tries to put a stop to it. Nicky and Lala get off on the wrong foot when Lala starts taking over both Nicky’s businesses and the access to Marco. At the police station, Alf is confronted by his colleague, Stine, about his substance abuse and the mysterious shift of course in the Nicky and Marco case. Meanwhile, Alf continues to be pressured by the chief police inspector to follow a hidden agenda.

Alf’s decision to go against the chief police inspector’s orders following a murder has severe consequences for the Nørrebro Task Force. Marco’s true identity is revealed and Nicky is now forced to deal with his business arrangement with Lala. Alf is on the trail of Anna, investigating her as a possible connection to Nicky, when her husband suddenly comes to her rescue.
