Piotr or Python, as his friends call him, returns to Poland from England to marry beautiful Żaneta. He intends to start a family nest in an old house that he has received as a gift from his future father-in-law. His plans get complicated, though, when, on the eve of his wedding day, the man finds human remains, buried nearby the property. As the remains are being examined, an unfortunate accident occurs. Piotr is unconscious and when he wakes up, his macabre discovery is gone and he has problems remembering the last few hours of his life. In the meantime, his wedding ceremony commences. All the guests invited to the ceremony, including Jasny, Żaneta's brother, in particular, realise that there is something seriously disturbing about Piotr's behaviour...
