Plot
Jakub ?ulczyk
Jacek is a young man who settles in Warsaw and in order to obtain a better future than his peers, he begins to work as a drug dealer. He is a neat, nihilistic perfectionist who sleeps during the day and works at night, delivering cocaine to the upper-class citizens of the Polish capital. While helping the criminal group he gets the drugs from, led by Piotr, Jacek observes a very dark and brutal side of Warsaw, which seems to be a ruthless living creature itself.

The novel covers one week of Jacek's life, which involves strict rules: no alcohol, no drugs, and no deep relations, which could distract his attention during work. During the pre-Christmas period, Jacek plans to escape from his everyday routine by flying to Argentina, but things start to go out of control when he agrees to keep a strange bag full of drugs for Stryj, another member of Piotr's criminal group.

After eight years spent in prison, old-school gangster Dario, former crime partner of Piotr, is released. As he gets back into the drug business, he realizes that during his absence, some parts of his property were stolen. His and Jacek's paths soon cross, which is not a good sign for the young dealer, whose perfect life starts to fall apart.
