Germany is bleeding. And someone is delivering justice the law never could.
Berlin, 1960. The war is over—but its ghosts are very much alive.
Homicide detective Max Becker knows this better than anyone. A former Nazi soldier burdened by guilt, Max has dedicated his life to hunting killers, hoping each arrest brings him—and his country—one step closer to redemption.
Then the bodies start appearing.
Men found tortured, naked, and posed, accompanied by chilling messages that hint at a deeper purpose. As the death toll climbs, Max races to stop what looks like the work of a sadistic serial killer. But the investigation uncovers a disturbing truth: every victim is linked to Russian soldiers who committed unspeakable war crimes.
The closer Max gets to the killer, the more his certainty fractures. Is he hunting a monster—or somebody broken exacting long-delayed vengeance?
With an arrest imminent, Max must confront the question that could destroy him: Does justice always belong to the law—or sometimes to the wounded?
