Synopsis :
Dirty secrets, buried deep within the past lives of the local political elite, come back to haunt the town they have claimed as their own. Gintas is a retiring chief of police in an idyllic provincial town, and he is loved by the people, respected by friends and valued by his subordinates. He is also a member of a tight-knit group of local political elite, who have ruled the town for many years. The gruesome death of a district attorney, and Gintas’ best friend, comes just as he announces his candidacy for the post of the town’s mayor. The attorney general’s office sends in a special investigator, the young and ambitious Simonas, to investigate the case.
