The next day, Jacob finds himself on a private plane, accompanied by a helicopter, being taken to a breathtaking showcase villa in Carinthia. He is greeted by the owner of the house, Bondarenko, who presents him with all the luxury and comforts he could ever desire. However, as time passes, Jacob begins to realize that he has unwittingly become embroiled in an organized crime conspiracy.
