Two women meet on the train. One of them, a prostitute, is on the run from the police, whilst the other, the daughter of a prominent politician, is returning home in order to get even. Fate leads them both to a remote village clouded by dark secrets.

Whilst curb crawling in Skopje a potential suitor turns out to be a pimp's right-hand man. In the heat of the moment Marika pulls a knife in order to defend herself. On the run she encounters Jana, the daughter of a Tito-era politician on her way to a now ramshackle hunting lodge that once belonged to her father; having nowhere else to go, Marika attaches herself to the her new acquaintance. Despite some early misgivings the two soon become friends. A lakeside hotel, construction of which her father initiated and didn't live to complete, now belongs to Jana. Today both of her parents are dead and her twin sister has emigrated. Jana can remember neither her teen years, nor the collapse of Yugoslavia since she suffered a serious accident on a construction site at the age of fourteen, as a result of which she spent years in a coma. Genz, the son of a local store-owner and her saviour back then, is today a policeman in a near-abandoned village. He is hand in glove with the local Mafia, who plan to transform the half-finished hotel into a luxury brothel and thus want to acquire the property from Jana and her sister. He learns that Jana's new friend is wanted for murder and proceeds to blackmail her, not reckoning with the fact that Jana herself has returned for revenge. A calmly narrated and intricately constructed psychological thriller complete with weapons, violence and dark secrets from the past. WMH
