When an attractive young woman Aga accidentally meets Vicky, her life is about to change dramatically. During renovation works in an old apartment in Lublin, Vicky stumbles upon a valuable artefact, the crown that once belonged to the King of Poland Casimir the Great.
When Aga’s egotistical partner Bruno Volta, a greedy lawyer working as a spin doctor on the presidential campaign, finds out about the discovery, he doesn’t waste time in putting his hands on the historical treasure. Together with his bodyguard he tries to con Vicky, not realising he is dealing with a very shrewd opponent.
