The show intricately meshes the turbulence of crime-ridden life with everyday human emotions and familial bonds, presenting a captivating and multi-layered narrative.
The show revolves around the intriguing life of Tapio Mikkonen, a charismatic yet morally complex character, thoughtfully portrayed by the Finnish actor, Carl-Kristian Rundman.

The central plot chronicles Tapio's struggles with his dual life as both a family man and a key figure in the criminal underworld, which he tries to protect his family from.

Moreover, Easy Living offers an unflinching depiction of the larger network of organized crime in Finland, lightly threading on the issues of domestic and international criminal activities.
