Margarita Latunsky passes her days as a museum attendant in the Hermitage Museum, secretly planning a heist of a Delacroix painting housed there. Her abusive boyfriend Rudi is the mastermind of the heist, while English painter Jerome produces counterfeit paintings to replace those which they steal. The band works for the Russian crime boss Andrei Gregorski, who procures buyers and pockets most of the proceeds. Their latest buyer is Suhbataar, the KGB agent from the previous chapter, now lodging with Margarita and Rudi.
