A grim descent into human trafficking and exploitation, following a vulnerable migrant worker's entrapment by criminal forces in a foreign land.

Oleg, a young Latvian butcher, arrives in Brussels in the hope of getting a better salary in a meat factory. His experience turns short after being betrayed by a colleague. Alone in a country where he doesn’t belong, he quickly falls under the yoke of Andrzej, a Polish criminal.
