Star Sky – The age of trust and nihilism

From a small rural town in Borsod county Carolina Reina moves to downtown Budapest, where she lands a job in the procurement department of the multinational corporation English Petrol. The stunningly beautiful, exceptionally tall, and highly decorative woman is captivated by the city’s nightlife. She devours men but dislikes emotional attachments, so she sets strict rules—she only dates men who already have families.

However, Gábor, a tall water polo player, falls into her web and disregards these rules. As a result, Carolina punishes him by involving herself with another casual partner. Gábor cannot cope with the heartbreak and ultimately takes his own life.

Lajos, Gábor’s widowed father, is a former intelligence officer who had hoped for a peaceful retirement. However, his son’s tragic fate shakes him to the core. Refusing to believe it was suicide, he starts his own investigation using his own methods, determined to take revenge on the person responsible. He seeks the help of an old friend, Bertalan Szarvassy.

Meanwhile, a Texas-based employee of the multinational oil company HexxonOil stumbles upon evidence of industrial espionage. One of their operatives is sent to Budapest to collaborate with local authorities and uncover how their strategic plans are leaking to their rival, English Petrol.

And, of course, 19th-century England reappears, revealing that most of the characters have crossed paths before—this is not their first encounter.
