SYNOPSIS

Luminița Florea, a thirty-four-year-old deputy police commissioner from a modest, half-Roma background, has just moved to a quiet town in Transylvania. Her first major case pairs her with seasoned prosecutor Iulian Sabo to investigate a mysterious incident involving Agatha, a teenage girl found unconscious in the forest near the hunting lodge of her German teacher, Adrian Fischer. Adrian, who seemed to have a disturbingly close—perhaps even romantic—relationship with Agatha, becomes the prime suspect. But when the girl dies, Luminița’s focus shifts to two other students: Eva, Adrian’s daughter, and her friend Beatris. Eva has no solid alibi, and Beatris drives a car matching the one seen fleeing the scene that night. As the investigation deepens, so does the connection between Luminița and Iulian. What begins as an intense, ethically ambiguous affair shows signs it could become something more serious—but with Iulian’s imminent move to Bucharest, the prospect of a lasting relationship becomes uncertain. Meanwhile, the case grows darker and stranger: Beatris, whose family is entangled with the local underworld, is discovered to be trafficking human corpses—buying bodies from poor villagers under the pretense of medical research. Since the girl proves impossible to reach—dodging calls, evading meetings, and always one step ahead—Luminița turns to Beatris’s mother—a wealthy, enigmatic Roma fortune-teller and reputed witch—who subtly warns her to stop digging. But after Luminița’s own father is brutally attacked, she realises she has stumbled into something far more sinister than she imagined.
