[2] Jacek is a young man who settles in Warsaw and in order to obtain a better future than his peers, he begins to work as a drug dealer.

He is a neat, nihilistic perfectionist who sleeps during the day and works at night, delivering cocaine to the upper-class citizens of the Polish capital.

While helping the criminal group he gets the drugs from, led by Piotr, Jacek observes a very dark and brutal side of Warsaw, which seems to be a ruthless living creature itself.

The novel covers one week of Jacek's life, which involves strict rules: no alcohol, no drugs, and no deep relations, which could distract his attention during work.

During the pre-Christmas period, Jacek plans to escape from his everyday routine by flying to Argentina, but things start to go out of control when he agrees to keep a strange bag full of drugs for Stryj, another member of Piotr's criminal group.
