In turn-of-the-21st-century Moscow, an innocent trade plunges Swedish investment banker, Tom Blixen, into a battle with millionaires, politicians, oligarchs and their private armies.
Moscow, 1999. The height of the Wild East. A risky deal plunges Swedish investment banker Tom Blixen into a battle between millionaires, oligarchs and their private armies.
Despite Baranov's murder, Tom still needs the Neftnik deal. He moves onto another buyer, the ostentatious businessman Gusev.
Tom is arrested as a suspect by Detective Skurov, as Fredrik goes to meet his blackmailers to try to call them off.
Skurov's investigation is being stopped from above. Fredrik knows he has to run, but when Tom arranges for him to sell his shares to RusOil.
Tom heads to Fredrik's Swedish cottage looking for the Neftnik shares, but he's attacked by gunmen. Meanwhile Olga finds she's not safe even at home, and heads back to Moscow to finish the deal once and for all.
As Tom and Skurov close in on the Neftnik owners, Skurov is blackmailed with the Darya photos. Tom and his boss Rebecka head to RusOil to complete the deal, but a tax raid closes the company down.
Kruglov takes Olga to meet the mystery Neftnik owner.
Skurov finds that Tom is with Strelka, and puts together a plan with Rebecka to save Tom and take Strelka down. In the process, Rebecka makes enough money to get out, and Skurov catches his corrupt boss Karimov.
