1962. It all starts when four boys, Titel, Horia, Claudiu and Marcel, skip school and start spending their time playing poker.

2009. At his villa in Snagov, Claudiu, currently a divorced senator, and Monica, his young Moldavian mistress, get ready for company. They are waiting for Horia, Titel and Marcel for a game of poker. The first one to arrive is Horia, a successful plastic surgeon. Soon after, Titel shows up escorted by an army of bodyguards, lead by his right hand man, Calabrezu. The three engage in a discussion that reveals their envy of Marcel, now a millionaire architect in the US.

While waiting for Marcel, their dirty deeds begin to surface. Titel and Claudiu are in a tight spot and start blackmailing and threatening each other due to a conflict of interest: they both want the same Senate seat. Titel is bribing everybody in order to attain the diplomatic immunity that comes with the Senate seat, with no regards to the fact that he's jeopardizing Claudiu's job.

Claudiu tries to blackmail Titel, but he is surprised to discover that the ace up his sleeve is useless. Titel is one step ahead as he planned a similar blackmail attempt. Horia gets between them trying to find a midway solution, but at the end of the day the three wind up being conned by Marcel, with the help of Monica.

Monica lets them know that Marcel isn't going to show up, that he won't give them financial help as promised and that she is leaving Romania to live a happy life be his side. Titel tries to kill her, but fails. In the end, Monica is allowed to leave and search for her "knight in shinning armor", while the three remain best friends, just like nothing happened.
