American diamond merchant Lucas Hill travels to Russia to sell rare blue diamonds to gangster Boris Volkov. However, his contact in St. Petersburg, Pyotr who had the diamonds has gone missing. Boris threatens Lucas to deliver the diamonds in 48 hours. Following Pyotr's clues, Lucas arrives at a guest house in Mirny, Siberia. He contacts his wife Gabby through Skype. He goes to a cafe and starts a fight with two men and the cafe owner Katya saves him. Later, her brother Ivan suspects her of sleeping with Lucas. So she asks him to sleep with her. Lucas meets Pyotr's brother Andrei who tells him that Pyotr sold the diamonds to a man named Samsonov. Enraged, Lucas goes to Katya's home. They start a passionate affair. Lucas also goes bear hunting with Ivan and Katya's other brothers. Lucas is contacted by Vincent but he turns him off. Lucas returns to Pyotr's apartment in St. Petersburg to find a diamond there. That is real. He checks the one Pyotr sent to him. It's a fake. Lucas meets Boris, along with Katya to show the diamond promising him to return the rest later. Boris seals their deal by becoming brothers by making Lucas force Katya to fellate Boris. Lucas is met by FSB agents who make Lucas sell fake diamonds, the ones Pyotr tried to sell to Samsonov, to Boris and get the money to the agents. In return, they promise him safe passage to home. Lucas overhears them speaking that once Boris finds out, he will kill his wife and Katya and Lucas won't hide long. Lucas manages to make Boris buy the diamonds and wire the money to the agents' account. But he gets a fair warning from Boris' henchman Pavel of the consequences if he is betraying. Lucas finds where Pyotr is hiding in Siberia. He goes there to find Pyotr dead and no way to retrieve the real diamonds. Lucas meets Katya one last time and borrows Ivan's hunting rifle, knowing there is no other way this could end. Pavel and a few henchmen find Lucas to the place. Lucas shoots and kills all the henchmen while trying to escape but gets shot by Pavel in the back and dies.
