Inna's rape and the murder last night at Troika stink to Vlad of a setup that could only be committed by an insider intent on starting a mafia war. Aleksei, Inna's brother and the owner of the nightclub where the crimes were committed, is a prime suspect, but he's not the only one with motive. Solving the mystery of who hurt Inna and why becomes a personal obsession for Vlad, one that might just propel him to the top of the Russian mafia if he and Inna can avoid getting caught in the crossfire of competing mafia factions. He doesn't have the luxury of indulging his tender feelings for his boss's daughter if he wants to achieve his ambitions, but there's nothing tender about Vlad's particular brand of justice. Maybe he can give Inna at least that much, since he has no business giving her his heart.
