The movie showcases how their plan falls apart when things don't go as they planned and they end up in a dangerous situation.

The movie begins with Jorgen (Nicolas Bro) and René (Ulrich Thomsen) struggling in their lives. They are both middle-aged men who are tired of their wives, and they have lost the spark in their marriages. They find themselves stuck in a rut, leading a mundane existence, devoid of excitement. The two men work together as contractors, installing windows and doors in homes, but their happy-go-lucky demeanor masks their deep unhappiness.

One evening, while drinking and discussing their troubles, they hatch a plan to hire a hitman to get rid of their wives. However, they soon realize that they do not have the funds to pay a professional hitman. They decide to put an advertisement on the dark web, posing as hitmen themselves, and offering their services. To their surprise, they receive a response and are soon hired by a Russian mafia boss to commit a murder for him. Things start to spiral out of control when they accidentally kill the wrong person.

As the plot thickens, Jorgen and René are plunged into a dangerous situation, and they soon realize the gravity of the situation they have landed themselves in. They are not murderers, and the consequences of their actions are more than they ever imagined. Despite their initial excitement over the idea of getting rid of their wives, they start to regret their decisions and try to save their marriages.
