Top Dog centres on the clash between ambitious business lawyer Emily Jansson and the ex-crook Teddy Maksumic. A mysterious disappearance brings together two completely different worlds, and an extremely ill-matched couple - lawyer Emily and the conditionally released Teddy.
The two are at loggerheads. She wants up. He wants out. She wants to secure her future; he wants to leave his old life behind.
The pair are forced to rethink when they end up in a tricky situation where the past catches up, where future dreams are shattered, and where nothing is what it seems.
The story set between Turkey, Syria and Spain tells of the world of peacemakers, international arms trade dealings and the deep-layered relationships with people in power.
Alex thought he had figured it all: a loving family, a successful career in the Stockholm police force... and some extra cash doing small jobs for the local mafia. But when his co-detective and partner in crime gets killed in shady circumstances, the whole edifice of Alex's life starts to fall apart. Put under internal investigation, Alex tries to cut its ties to the mafia but things don't go as planned. They kidnap his son to force him to do one last job: unmask a police snitch in their ranks. With everything against him, Alex must find a way to get his life back.
