During an unsuccessful burglary attempt, Jaroslav accidentally kills his old neighbour. His wife, Dana, concocts a plan to make the murder seem like an accident. Another neighbour stands in the way, however, whom they also have to eliminate. Dana convinces Jaroslav to help her. They attempt to use this incident to solve some of their financial problems. With the vision of easy money, the Stodolas start killing elderly and lonely people in the surrounding villages, Dana being the leader and Jaroslav the follower. Initially, they proceed to cover up the murders as accidents or suicides and the police do not do much to prove otherwise. When they finally are convicted by the investigator, who connect all the dots, Jaroslav puts all the blame on himself.
