The story is set in Livno (BiH), on the edge of the Dinara mountain - a place that has become a quiet gateway to Croatia. At the center of the story are Bakar and Struja, two friends bound together by more hardship than luck. They have found a way to survive: illegally smuggling migrants across the mountain from Bosnia and Herzegovina into Croatia. The business starts as a small-time hustle, but every new run drags them deeper into a world where the lines between survival, profit, and betrayal quickly blur.
