    Six years after her husband, a prominent Belgrade lawyer, died in a fire, Anja Kolar receives information that makes her question everything she thought she knew about the accident and about her own family as well. At the same time the sudden death of his best friend’s daughter draws police inspector Dejan Štbac into a whirpool of crimes, starting with the mysterious disappearance of a young female lawyer, which took place six years earlier.
