Ninety-year-old architect Jonas Vilkas dies in his countryside home in Anykščiai. His grandchildren, Austėja and Matas, raised in Vilnius and Dublin respectively, return for the reading of the will. The family expects a division of old farmland and a modest bank account.

The map marks three locations: a ruined windmill, a crooked oak, and a place called "The Iron Wolf's Cave." Meanwhile, a sleek black SUV arrives in town. Two men in suits introduce themselves as "real estate developers." They offer to buy the Vilkas property for ten times its value—cash, today.
A chase ends at the Iron Wolf's Cave. Matas uploads the photographs to a secure server, with instructions to release them to five major news outlets if he does not check in every hour. Austėja confronts the oligarch's right-hand man: "My grandfather didn't leave us a fortune. He left us a weapon. And we are not afraid to use it."
The letter reads: "To the one who finds this: burn it or protect it. There is no middle ground. – E."
