One night. One secret. One letter that shatters the peace of a small community after seventeen years.
An anonymous tip arrives at the police station with a description of a crime from years ago: beatings, kidnappings, dismemberment... and a bonfire over which the perpetrators allegedly roasted human body parts. No one knows the victim's name. No one wants to remember that night. Yet, someone finally snaps.
Prosecutor Komorowski and police officer Kozlowski pursue a trail reminiscent of a village legend - until information from wiretaps, interrogations, and testimonies begins to coalesce into something terrifyingly coherent. Panic grows. Someone is lying. Someone is trying to save their family. Someone is hiding a truth that could destroy the lives of many.

About lies that mature in silence.
