Pusher – Follow small time dealer Frank as a sure fire deal goes sour and his life goes from bad to worse. As he searches for a way out of his private hell we see the hopeless, desperate and at times extreme measures forced upon those involved in the Copenhagen underworld.
Pusher II – Last seen bloody and beaten after snitching on a friend, the TRILOGY turns its attention to Tonny. Released from prison he learns that he has a baby – could there be a worse candidate for a parent? … But is this career criminal ready to grow up?
Pusher III – It is now the turn of Copenhagen ganglord Milo (who appears throughout the TRILOGY) to feel the pinch when a younger and even more vicious gang roll into town, forcing him to get his own hands dirty for the first time. Over the course of 24 hours he must broker deals, dispose of corpses and plan his daughter’s 25th birthday celebrations. The stress of Milo’s day only serves to emphasise the bleak nature of criminal existence, offering only soulless rewards.
