At the height of winter in an isolated mountain cabin, seven elite lawyers discover that their team-building retreat is not a reward but a punishment for their wrongdoing. Someone stole €900,000 from their law firm, and it’s their task to find the culprit among them. Chaos ensues: the cabin caretaker is fatally wounded, a snowstorm blocks the road, and their phones are nowhere to be found. Stranded, the lawyers rely on the skills of a mysterious Foreigner. Those once last become first, opening a chance for reconciliation. But will it be enough to stop the human vultures from getting away with their prey?
