Two couples – the Hloz and Slama families – lead peaceful family and business lives. Mrs Hlozova (Katerina Brozova) and Mrs Slamova (Vimla Cibulkova) run a VIP-hostess agency; Mr Hloz (Sasa Rasilov) is a boss in a prosperous security agency and Mr Slama (Miroslav Etzler) owns a successful construction company. Slama decides for a big game – he disrupts the well-running system during a huge construction tender: he's not going to “feed”anyone else from the cash flow. He engages his friend Hloz, who has no idea, into the preparation of this revolt. But hell-bent Slama fails in estimating what a dangerous area he's entering. The construction contract is vital for the Alliance of Five, who have the councilman nicknamed Lulu (Jiri Langmajer) in their “service”. Lulu is supposed to make sure Slama is out of the game, no matter what. Right away, we find ourselves in the world of wiretapping, stakeouts, discrediting materials, elimination preparations and even unclarified murders. The atmosphere gets dense and icy, nobody trusts nobody. Hloz fights to save his friend Slama and then takes justice in his hands. Everything is observed seemingly from the distance by strange Mr Bishop (Jan Triska). Why and for whom? (official distributor synopsis)
