Strange dreams compel him into dialogues about existence and non-existence with a mysterious older man. This man seems able to effortlessly move between times and dimensions.

At the same time, the oligarch Marmirov is preparing to take over a German trade fair. A mysterious Russian unexpectedly appears. He believes he knows that Marmirov is the true head of the Russian mafia and that the trade fair takeover provides a loophole to launder money and penetrate entirely new territory. A drama unfolds, one that also involves politics.
