The legitimate thief, the holder of the thieves’ “common fund,” the Varang, effectively controls a huge arms-trafficking business. But unexpectedly, his interests collide with those of a powerful, corrupt bureaucratic machine that has secretly surrounded itself not only with young gang leaders, but also with employees of various special services who have been tempted by dirty money. A ruthless war begins—legitimate thieves against the lawlessness of power and the lawlessness of the new mafia. In the bloody showdown comes the moment when Varang thinks he no longer has strength to keep fighting. He loses his wife and son and is left face to face with a savage pack of merciless enemies who hunger for his destruction.
