A methodical, intellectually demanding true-crime investigation into a decades-old double murder that grapples with justice, closure, and the limits of evidence.

Some 20 years ago, two sex workers were murdered in an upper-class Brussels neighborhood. Celebrated Belgian magistrate Anne Gurwez decides to revisit this cold case, pouring over the evidence with the use of new technologies and tracking down then-suspects.
