Michal has everything he’s always dreamed of: a beautiful wife Magda, a newborn son, his own firm. He chooses an old friend, Janek, to be the godfather of his child. This is just the beginning of Michal's plan, who goes on to asks his friend to take an interest in his wife... Initially the plan seems to works out, but it becomes increasingly difficult for Michał to come to terms with it. Michal knows his deeply hidden past will inevitably come back to haunt him, meaning and Janek will have to make a decision, one which he will never be able to forget the consequences of.
