Retrenching in Prague, Cassels soon find that his troubles are only just beginning as he discovers that a Russian oligarch, a man in his eyes, clearly guilty for the wars and economic ruin of his country, is unbelievably close at hand. Raging for retribution, exposing the oligarch – Igralski, who is yet unpunished and un-denounced, become a suicidal fixation. Photographing a street prostitute being abused and bitten by "sex-slave traffickers" Cassels is drown deeper into a world entwined with the shadow of the Oligarch. Rescuing her brings the key to a mission that will push him to the very edge of sanity and revenge. (Moscow International Film Festival)
