A group of hitmen crosses the Ukrainian border illegally. Two Ukrainian police officers help them to move safely and unnoticed through the country.

In a few weeks, hired killers stage a shooting in broad daylight at one of the capital’s upmarket residential complexes. Their victim was hit by at least five bullets, but survived and is plotting her revenge. A brutal and bloody one.

This is not a fast-paced thriller, but reality, in which Ukraine serves as the setting for a showdown between Balkan drug cartels. And in this story, there is a clear police trail leading right up to the top echelons of the police force.
