In the village of Karatas, a horrific crime has occurred: a boy has been murdered and sexually assaulted, his body found in an abandoned barn. He is the fourth victim, but it seems no one around cares. The local police have long since become accustomed to ticking boxes, turning a blind eye to corruption, racketeering and drug trafficking. Young detective Bekzat has a suspect: the harmless Pukuar with a developmental delay. He's never done anything wrong, but no one cares. To the local authorities' dismay, independent journalist Ariana arrives from the city, demanding justice and threatening to expose the violations. Bekzat is forced to accompany her, pretending to search for the real killer. To his surprise, he actually finds him. But is Bekzat ready to do the right thing for the first time in his life?
