Avni is a traffic police officer in a small town in Kosovo, an ordinary policeman and family man, neither very honest nor very brave. Together with his partner Gezim, they accept petty bribes from the drivers they arrest for speeding. One night, thinking they are doing the right thing, they escort to the station an international court prosecutor who was driving drunk with a bag full of cash in the back of the car. The two of them then will quickly find themselves entangled in a corruption case that goes way beyond them.
