Plot
Before he is released from prison, Tonny hears a monologue by his cellmate advising him to conquer his fear. He reminds Tonny of a monetary debt he owes but chooses to give him a way out, out of respect for his father, a vicious gangster known as the Duke. Upon his release, Tonny visits his father's garage business seeking employment. The Duke has a younger son from a different mother now and receives Tonny coldly, but he ultimately allows Tonny to work for him on a trial basis. Tonny steals a Ferrari in an effort to impress his father, but the car is rejected and the Duke berates Tonny for his irresponsibility.
While hanging out with his friend Ø, Tonny is told that he has a child with a local woman named Charlotte. Charlotte, who has been raising the child by herself, demands that Tonny start paying her child support. Tonny makes empty promises to pay, but soon comes to care for the child. He successfully participates in a car heist for the Duke, but has to ride in the trunk of the getaway car because there are no seats left.
