A luxurious villa on the outskirts of Warsaw. Emi, an attractive businesswoman, returns from work. That evening she and her husband Adam made an appointment with their friends Nina and Eryk for home cooking together. Adam, unfortunately, as usual, is late, and Emi doesn't know yet that this meeting will go in a completely different direction than they could have imagined even in the darkest scenarios...
This is because an unknown man (Tony) who broke into her house is waiting for Emi. He is armed and brazen. He terrorizes the woman, although he has not yet revealed the reason for his intrusion. At some point, the invited Nina and Eryk come. Tony forces Emi to feed them some excuse and ask them to leave. But the friends are not so easy to get rid off, and eventually Tony takes over, declaring that he and Emi have been having an affair for a long time, and Emi has just decided to leave her husband. To confirm this revelation, he embraces her passionately, and she plays along to fulfill the kidnapper's orders and get rid of the guests. Nina and Eryk are bewildered, but eventually they leave.
Emi tries at all costs to find out what the thug actually wants, but he, excited by pretending to be lovers, forces her to have sex. In the end, however, he reveals to Emi the reason for the raid. He and his buddy kidnapped her husband and imprisoned him in a shed in the nearby forest. Tony offers Emi a deal - if she transfers the right amount of money to the account he has indicated, his buddy frees Adam. Otherwise, he and Emi will die. The fact that Tony expects Emi to put a price on her husband's life makes the situation even more exciting...
But there comes a twist that Tony clearly did not expect. Emi states that she has long wanted to get rid of Adam, with whom she is not happy. She won't pay the ransom because she wants Tony and his buddy to kill him. To convince Tony, she reveals that she cheated on her husband with his best friend Alex. Now she's the one who's forcing Tony to get sexual, imprinting on him her desire.
When Emi and Tony are having sex, Adam comes in unexpectedly. He miraculously managed to escape. He recognizes one of the kidnappers in a man he considers to be his wife's lover at this point. Adam firmly refuses to pay the ransom, and Tony forces Emi to shoot his husband in this situation. When Emi points the gun at Adam, Eryk and Nina come back. They want to persuade their friend not to leave her husband. Seeing Emi with the gun, they're convinced she wants to kill Adam out of love with Tony...
There's a series of misunderstandings, resulting from different versions of the event, and eventually Tony terrorizes all four friends. The sense of danger triggers a series of mutual accusations and airing of dirty laundry, revealing the true picture of the couple's lamentable relationship, carefully hidden under a facade of apparent happiness. Adam even admits that out of desperation he intended to cheat on his wife with a man. It turns out that this man is Alex, with whom Emi cheated on him... Finally, Tony, impatient by his participation in this "soap opera" - as he puts it - returns to the question of money, now threatening to kill both spouses. At the climax of the play, however, he is overpowered and unmasked, which comes as a shock to the others, shedding a whole new light on the events to date. What will be the end of this story?
An exquisitely constructed play, full of unexpected twists and turns, keeping the suspense up until the last moment, when everything turns out to be different than it seems, and the title "transaction" turns into a dramatic game about everything, including sex.
