A drug smuggling crew from Bosnia-Herzegovina faces chaos when a Syrian migrant's explosives attract ISIS terrorists into the country, forcing them into a deadly game of loyalty and survival on the Bosnia and Herzegovina-Croatia border.

The carefree and somewhat idyllic life of a ten year old boy named Marijan is violently interrupted when war ravages his small town of Dalj and his families closest friends and neighbors turn on them purely because they are Croatian. Marijan is forced to witness and experience things an adult would have an incredibly difficult time dealing with. He is nevertheless faced with the inexplicably horrid events war brings out in people. The story centers on a present day Marijan- now the very successful owner of a wood manufacturing business. On one random day a man walks into his store and all of the memories he wishes he could long forget come flooding back, forcing him to relive them. Despite his immense hardships, Marijan lives on in forgiveness, always seeking the positives that lay in the future rather than rehashing and remaining in the past.

The story is set in Livno (BiH), on the edge of the Dinara mountain - a place that has become a quiet gateway to Croatia. At the center of the story are Bakar and Struja, two friends bound together by more hardship than luck. They have found a way to survive: illegally smuggling migrants across the mountain from Bosnia and Herzegovina into Croatia. The business starts as a small-time hustle, but every new run drags them deeper into a world where the lines between survival, profit, and betrayal quickly blur.
