However, the young man’s arrogance ends when he is thrown behind bars after someone snitches on him. Piotr, supported by his new girlfriend Ola, who is a lawyer specializing in the most difficult cases, decides to get his brother out of prison. The meeting of these three changes everything and initiates a series of adrenaline-pumping events.

Meanwhile Ola, who is falling for Paweł, becomes more and more involved in the fascinating relationship and illegal affairs. Soon she will have to choose between loyalty to Piotr and her budding feelings towards his brother.
