Synopsis
Set in Prague, the story centres on Martin, a young man from Mladá Boleslav, who becomes a victim of fraud committed by Richard, a currency dealer. Seeking to get his money back, he attempts to track Richard down and eventually joins his gang, which consists of Hary, Bíny, and Slepejš. He quickly adapts to the lifestyle of big money, debauched parties, prostitutes, and police raids. Bíny betrays one of their deals to a rival gang, led by Karel, and they find themselves on the run from the police. They attempt to seek shelter in Mladá Boleslav but are eventually found. During the chase, Hary falls to his death from a balcony. The gang appears in court, and they are sentenced to serve jail time. It is strongly suggested that Karel has an influence over the judge.
