Film Synopsis

Sami and Anna have lived together for two years and have two children.  Sami is high-flying police officer who has leapt up the promotional ladder, with the help of his brother-in-law Richard.  One day, the body of a garage owner is found at the bottom of a swimming pool.  As he investigates the crime, Sami realises he is revisiting his own past.  Ten years ago, four shady individuals in a car park, gunshots, blood...  hazy recollections that are like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.  Sami doesn't yet know that the killer he is pursuing is already known to him...
