While traveling for business, Miro (40) spends the night with a sex worker for the first time in his life after someone sends her to his hotel room. After they’ve had sex, he finds the girl dead in the bathroom. A successful, happily married man and a father of two, Miro covers up the unfortunate accident with the help of two hotel employees. However, they soon start asking him to return the favour. At first, it’s small things but soon their demands get out of hand. The two accomplices in his “crime” suddenly play a major role in his life that will never be the same.
