This real life tale of Romanian citizens is based on the Bucharest club fire in 2015 that killed 27 individuals and injured 180 people. Upon the death of the 37 victims in the hospital, journalist Cătălin Tolontan along with the reporters of the Sports Gazette newspaper unearthed a hidden tale of unchecked corruption.

The tale revolves around resisting the oppressive system with a few whistleblowers, a fire survivor who articulates her pain through art, a young bureaucrat who tries to save the system and fearless romanian citizens who counteract chaos with the uncovering of the truth.
