As he investigates, he encounters a community caught between tradition and modernity, where violence can erupt at any moment. At the same time, Starling grapples with his own demons, including the pressure from his superiors and the risk of damaging his relationship with his girlfriend, who also represents a vital connection to the community he is trying to protect. As he delves deeper into his investigation, he uncovers a dark secret that could unravel both the community he loves and his own life.
With an intense pace and a charismatic cast, the story not only exposes the brutality of crime but also the struggle for identity and belonging.
