Tom Blixen is an ambitious young investment banker at Pioneer Capital. His career is on the rocks, but when his friend Fredrik asks for help selling some shares in a dead end oil company called Neftnik, Tom sees a chance for them both to win. His first attempt to sell them ends with the buyer being killed in front of him.
Despite Baranov's murder, Tom still needs the Neftnik deal. He moves onto another buyer, the ostentatious businessman Gusev, but he ends up cooked on his own barbecue. Meanwhile Fredrik gets a tape of himself being forced to kill a young gangster. Clearly there's more to Neftnik than he's saying.
Tom is arrested as a suspect by Detective Skurov, as Fredrik goes to meet his blackmailers to try to call them off. Tom's job is under threat, but he finds an ally in board member Strelka.

Kruglov takes Olga to meet the mystery Neftnik owner, and she's nearly killed in a shootout. Tom arrives and saves her, but she has to go into hiding. Rebecka takes her own evidence to her bosses at Pioneer, realising that they are connected to Neftnik. Skurov takes a stand and defies orders, as the killers threaten Ksenia...
Skurov finds that Tom is with Strelka, and puts together a plan with Rebecka to save Tom and take Strelka down. In the process, Rebecka makes enough money to get out, and Skurov catches his corrupt boss Karimov. Strelka escapes, but his career is over.
