In 18, the follow-up to NRK’s very successful series 17, we get to follow Emrah. His main desire is status, and in season one we met him as someone who was balancing between being a good boy and getting into serious trouble. When we meet him again in “18”, he is not doing well, and we get to know more about his family situation. We meet a boy taking all the responsibility for his little brother, and his sick mom. Emrah wants independence and he is dreaming of a life outside Groruddalen, and for that he needs money. He has started to sell cannabis, and he is hanging out with people who are a bad influence on him. As he gets more and more involved in the criminal network, he needs to find out what he is willing to sacrifice on his way to the top in the criminal food chain. And it all gets even harder when he falls in love with the new girl at school.
