To keep up the facade of his lifestyle, he’s lured into a world of crime. Jorge (Matias Varela) is a petty fugitive on the run from both the police and Serbian mafia. He hopes that brokering a massive drug deal will allow him to escape for good. Mafia enforcer Mrado (Dragomir Mrsic) is on the hunt for Jorge, but his efforts are complicated when he’s unexpectedly saddled with caring for his young daughter. As JW’s journey ventures deeper into the dark world of organized crime, the fate of all three men comes together in a fatal snarl…
