The story follows Petra, a newly graduated economist who returns to her native village to join the family "business"—a tobacco smuggling operation across the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The operation is formidable, led by her iron-willed grandmother, Zorka. The series thrives on the tension and humor generated between the village's colorful smugglers and the local police force trying (and often failing) to catch them.
