In August 1991, newly independent Estonia reclaims its gold reserves worth nearly $1 billion from Paris. Russian mobsters plan to hijack this gold during a city-wide power shutdown at midnight, requiring the help of electrical technician Toivo. Toivo's wife is pregnant and encourages him to take the job for the money. On the night of the blackout, Toivo's wife goes into labor simultaneously with the power failure, leaving their newborn in need of an incubator without electricity. The mob's plan encounters complications due to internal jealousies and the need to deal with Toivo.

The film centers around an intricate heist plot involving Estonia's gold reserves and the struggles of ordinary people like Toivo, caught in extraordinary circumstances. Although sources provide limited context, it appears the movie explores themes of corruption, greed, and the human consequences of political turmoil.
