A morally murky thriller about a magistrate's investigation into murder and corruption, complicated by a mysterious witness whose motives remain unclear.

Eva, an honest and rigorous examining magistrate, investigates the murder of a young stripper in which a powerful businessman is apparently involved, but she is unable to find enough evidence to implicate him… until a mysterious witness appears who makes her an offer she can't refuse.
