Adam é o chefe da família e também o chefe de uma gangue de criminosos que traficam cigarro através da fronteira eslovaco-ucraniana. Nesse estreito círculo, ele desempenha o papel vital do confidente encarregado de tudo, e também do líder intransigente, cuja segurança e temperamento funcionam em momentos decisivos. No entanto, a coexistência pacífica desses mundos interconectados é ameaçada pela crescente preocupação com o futuro após a construção da fronteira externa do Espaço Schengen. O fracasso de um dos transportes ilegais desencadeia uma avalanche incontrolável de conseqüências que força Adam a questionar seus próprios limites, nenhum dos quais ele planejava atravessar até agora.
