Driven by dreams of glamor and easy money, young art historian Dasha Smirnova leaves her provincial hometown for Moscow, guided by her school friend Marina, an elite kept-woman involved with a powerful married official. However, Dasha’s entry into this glittering high society takes a dark turn when Marina is found dead in the restroom of a luxury restaurant. Elena Shirokova (Darya Moroz), a jaded, low-earning police investigator assigned to the case, plunges into Moscow’s elite underworld to solve the murder. As Elena unravels a web of transactional sex, institutional corruption, and rampant infidelity, she finds herself seduced by the very luxury she is investigating, blurring the lines between the hunter and the hunted in a playground where everything—and everyone—has a price.
