Noh has found his crew: David on the DJ desk, Adam on vocals, Jonas as manager. Together they will conquer hip-hop Norway from Kongegata 1, Larvik's newly opened cultural center with a free studio. But when marijuana is discovered, the access to the studio is restricted and Noh's dream is in danger. The solution? Noh needs to raise 10,000 kroner – quickly. The plan is simple: sell marijuana, earn money, buy equipment, build a studio. But nothing in Larvik is easy when you're fifteen years old, live at home, have strict parents and a secret life that grows bigger every day. From the attic of Børre, the city's safe haven for beanies, to meetings with dealers, from desperate customers to dangerous credit purchases, Noh navigates life between school, sales and musician ambitions. While the rappers who inspire him live thug lives in American ghettos, Noh must find his own language in a Norwegian reality. What do you rap about when you grow up in the small city of Larvik? How do you stay true to art when your family argues about money, your father has three jobs, and morality becomes increasingly unclear? Weeds and Asphalt is a raw, warm and hilarious coming-of-age story about artist dreams and everyday crime.
