On the remote ranch they guard illegal oil containers and they also run a smuggling business on the Serbian border. For a while it seems to Soma he is in safety. But one day Moni appears again. On the first night everything goes all right. Moni sleeps well and Soma is happy about her. But the next day is already a nightmare. The presence of Moni burns up the quiet place. At first, the always silent smugglers pick a quarrel, later an explosion destroys the whole location. Moni says it was just a cigarette. In the wrong place, wrong the time.
