Yehuda describes himself as a true professional and a proud Israeli, investigating the murder mystery of a new immigrant.

The starting point of the plot is after the brutal murder of a young new immigrant living in Jerusalem, and the investigation is entrusted to Yehuda, an investigator in the YMRA.

The information comes from Andrei, the father of an innocent man who was convicted of these murders and is now awaiting death in Russia, and for him this is the last chance to find the real murderer and try to save his son.
