Description
Anat Nachmias's first murder investigation plunges her into Tel Aviv's dark underworld. Michal Poleg, a young social activist, is found dead in her apartment, with signs of severe violence. As Anat searches for answers, she focuses on the victim's past, particularly her interactions with asylum seekers. The case takes a surprising turn when a young African man confesses to the murder, and Anat's commanders close the investigation. However, Anat remains unconvinced, believing Michal was involved in something much bigger and more dangerous than initially thought. As she delves deeper into the shadow world of war victims, criminals, and idealists, Anat faces an evil she has never encountered before. With her clumsy yet charming boss by her side, Anat navigates a complex web of intersecting worlds, where aid organizations and criminal syndicates blur the lines between good and evil.
