Vladan Simonović is a tycoon, hated in Serbia because of the wealth he gained during the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Although he was able to run his company from the shadows, and to some extent the economy of the entire country, the politicians now in power, put him on a kind of pillar of shame, using him to strengthen their political authority. At the same time, the same politicians are cooperating with Simonović’s rivals and plan to turn themselves and people from their closest surroundings into a new class of tycoons who are unconditionally loyal to them, with a seemingly clean past. Therefore, the assassination attempt on Simonović will not make him a victim in the eyes of politicians and the media under their control. On the contrary, that attack will make him even more isolated and vulnerable, making him conduct the investigation into his assassination attempt by himself. He is a persecuted man, forced to take drastic measures to preserve himself and his company. Besides his public and secret enemies, he is in conflict with his son, but also with the rest of the family, which is only kept together by his wealth.
