The situation grows even more complicated when the fugitives, hiding in a forest, become accidental witnesses to an attack on a young woman. Hoping to redeem himself in his sister’s eyes, Juris sets out to find the attacker on his own, with tragic consequences. As the investigation unfolds, the police must untangle a web of interconnected crimes.
