In early 2000 in Poland, three businessmen set up a fast-growing, successful company. The company and the profits generated attracted keen interest from a number of greedy, prominent citizens. Through a secret alliance between them, they succeeded in kicking the businessmen out of their own company by accusing them of money-laundering and getting them thrown into jail and took over as the shareholders of the company. The reputation of the three men was in tatters; they were treated like dangerous criminals and had to face inhuman conditions in prison. Then a fight to restore the truth and their reputations started against the local, corrupt administration between those pulling strings in the shadows and others defending freedom. Shocking, astounding and revolting, this movie is based on true events…
