Plot
Three years into his sentence for drug trafficking, JW is granted parole. His parents and former girlfriend Sophie break off contact with him, but despite their violent past, he forms a close relationship with the now paraplegic Mrado. JW plans to profit off of trading software he developed, only to be betrayed by his business partner and former classmate Nippe, who takes full credit for the program. After assaulting Nippe, JW contacts Mrado, who proposes a scheme for them to become wealthy: they will abduct Misha Bladman, the accountant of Serbian mob boss Radovan and interrogate him for the money he stores. JW accepts and helps Mrado escape from prison to capture Bladman.
Meanwhile, Jorge enters into a deal to supply drugs to Serbian mobsters, but loses the drugs in a car accident.
