Simon (Simon Loof) was a law student at Lund University who got mixed up with the wrong crowd the day he set foot in the city. Simon was walking towards his apartment when he came across a group of protesters facing the police in riot gear. A police officer goes after Simon as he runs away and finds a group of masked people robbing a watch store in a deserted street. The officer finds Simon and assaults him, only to be saved by one of the masked people, who hits the officer, and applies first aid to Simon's wounds. As the group completes their task, they board their van and ask their colleague Max to join them. Simon is roommates with Ludvig and Victor. Ludvig's father also studied law at the University, but he ended up running a hedge fund. Ludvig family owned the apartment. Simon gets a part-time job at a pub to sustain himself. Ludvig comes from a rich family and is very patronizing to Simon. When Ludvig invites guests for a party, he gets Simon to do all the work and then proceeds to make fun of Simon at the dinner table. Simon also has to clean up afterwards. Ludvig is doing an internship at the UN due to his father's connections. Simon falls in love with a girl called Max (Nora Rios), who introduced him to the anarchist named Charles and the team of thieves that worked for him, Robin, Dinah, and Gustaf. Simon was attracted to Max as he found her dangerous. He knew Max was the one who rescued him earlier. Max studies art history at university. Max tests Simon by taking him cliff jumping. Simon really likes it but injures himself when he jumps into the shallow end of the ocean below. Since Simon wasn't all that interested in becoming a lawyer, he gravitated towards this modern version of the Merry Men and began fraternizing with them on a regular basis. He officially became a part of the team when he played an integral role in the burglary of a showroom for expensive watches. The next step involved partaking in a robbery at the house of his wealthy roommate, Ludvig. Simon leaves Ludvig's family apartment and moves into Charles' mansion where the rest of the gang stays. Ludvig gets very difficult about refunding Simon his 1 month rent and the security deposit. Charles tries to warn Simon that he is not the first, and that he still has a chance to get out. Max had sex with Ludvig to get the keys to his house, and when Simon confronted her about it, asking her why she didn't just ask Simon to get them, Max made it seem like she was compelled to take that route because Simon wouldn't have stolen them for her. At that point in time, Simon had already started to push back against Ludvig and Victor's (his other roommate) bullying. So, it was obvious to everyone, except Max, that Simon would have definitely stolen the keys to Ludvig's house and helped them rob the place. But things went sideways and almost led to the death of the housekeeper, Joyce. Charles was livid at this mishap and slaps Robin who shot Joyce. Robin strikes back at Charles and retorts that they got a lot of money for the stolen goods on the property. It was clear that Charles felt that this had gone too far. Max sends Simon back home, saying that would his best alibi. After the robbery at Ludvig's house, Simon tried to rationalize the crime he had been a part of by saying that the group responsible for shooting Joyce was known for stealing from those who had too much. Ludvig said that Joyce's job there put her grandchildren through school. Simon was forced by Max and the rest to part ways with them, and he was ordered to never reconnect with them. However, as Simon's life began to unravel and he realized that he had no future in the world of legal studies, he decided to seek out Max and the rest to attain some form of closure. Simon commenced his search for Max and the bandits by going to Charles, who pointed him in the direction of one Henrik Jonsson and requested Simon to never come back to him again. When he went to the address that Henrik used to stay at, Simon learned that he had gone missing. Assuming that he had hit a dead end, Simon proceeded to leave the apartment, but a roommate of Henrik's stopped him in his tracks and gave him a bunch of Polaroids Henrik had clicked with Max, and also gave him a library receipt, something that Henrik said should be given to the person who came looking for him and was an acquaintance of Charles'. Simon realized two things: firstly, Henrik was the same guy he ran into when he first came to Lund, and secondly, Max had a habit of wooing guys who felt somewhat lost in life so that they could be used as the fall guy when things went sideways. For both the robberies at the watch showroom and Ludvig's house, the bandits had recorded footage of Simon so that all the blame could fall on him if the authorities came looking for the guilty party. Something like that must have happened to Henrik, which was why he chose to run away from Lund instead of becoming the bandits' scapegoat. Simon didn't waste a second and went to the library to check out the book in question, which was Memoirs of a Revolutionary by Victor Serge, where he found a note. It didn't take very long for him to figure out that it was a list of the actual names of the bandits, along with their personal contact numbers. Max was Lea, Dinah was Belinda, Robin was Axel, and Gustaf was Gabriel. Henrik probably knew that he didn't have the time, money, resources, or energy to do anything with that information. So, he trusted the next person who fell in the bandits' web to complete what he had started. Simon took that list to Charles, but then he found out that he had already killed himself. As soon as Simon thought he had hit yet another dead end, Max called him out of the blue to tell him that she had left the bandits and needed his help. She said that she had booked a room at the hotel called Stiller in Stockholm under the name Bonnot and she wanted to meet him there. Simon knew that it was yet another trap. So, before leaving for Stockholm, Simon wrote down everything that had happened while he was with the bandits in his journal and stored it in the bookshelf in his house, between the books written by James Joyce and William Faulkner. He also gave a vague clue to his sister so that she'd find that journal in case he didn't make it through the ordeal in Stockholm. Simon realized that his worst fears had come true as he had been roped into yet another act of rebellion by the bandits. Maria Conti, a billionaire financier, was a guest at the hotel he was in, and it was obvious that the bandits were going to steal something from her and make an example out of her. Instead of immediately revealing that he knew the real identities of the bandits, he just went with the flow, hoping to pull the rug from under their feet at the opportune moment. The robbery was almost over, as the bandits had stolen a bunch of expensive stuff from Conti's locker and taken humiliating pictures of her. However, in the heat of the moment, when Robin shot the receptionist, Simon had no option but to intervene. Their scuffle led to Gustaf getting shot. The bandits and Simon saw that as their cue to leave, and they jumped in their van and left. Max, Simon, and Robin were dropped off at a traffic stop so that they could part ways, probably for the time being. Gustaf was as good as dead, and Dinah was tasked with dealing with his body. Robin fled the scene, while Max went with Simon to a public restroom to get cleaned up. Before Max could use the same trick that she had used after the robbery at Ludvig's house to get rid of Simon, he turned the tables and finally revealed that he had their names and their personal numbers. He warned her that if she and the bandits tried or even threatened to make him their fall guy again, he'd give all those details to the police. On top of that, he clicked a photo of Max in case the police needed to run facial matches. By doing so, Simon proved that he was done being used, he was taking control of the situation, and he refused to become like Henrik, living life looking over his shoulder. Max tried to explain that Simon's assessment of how she felt about him was wrong, but she knew that that wouldn't change the way Simon saw her. So, they just went their separate ways. Max reunited with Robin and Dinah to get her cut of the take, but Max will never think of seducing another guy like Simon and Henrik so that he could become their fall guy.
