Synopsis
The main character of the story is Jan Kavka. A 40-year-old rescuer from a small town has just left his wife Eva. At the moment of separation, Eva becomes a tragic victim of a crime. Jan is a widower who lives with the knowledge that he indirectly caused his wife's death and did not come to her aid at a critical moment. He finds refuge from a relentless sense of guilt thanks to his friend Michal in a local boxing club. He befriends Michal's protégé Greta, to whom the gym makes up for the missing family background. Investigator Dvořák, who is in charge of the case of death of Eva Kavková, encounters a number of strange circumstances. It turns out that the perpetrator, the junkie Robert Stránský, is an informer under the protection of Mudrová, an investigator from the narc headquarters. Jan wants to believe in justice and hopes he can return to everyday life with the help of his friends. But the fear that the killer might eventually escape punishment leads him to his own path of retribution under unexpected circumstances and with uncertain results. But will he be able to, in addition to revenge, forgive himself?
