Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The violent death of his girlfriend Kara throws Chief Inspector Haller completely off track. Haller himself went blind in the incident and was released from duty. However, inconsistencies cause him to investigate the murder of Kara on his own.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
