A detective thriller based on a novel. A serial killer known as the Hairdresser is terrorising Prague, targeting young women. A recent murder in a nearby village also bears his twisted hallmark. Veteran Prague detective Bergman, accompanied by his young new colleague Sylvie, immediately sets off to investigate. He discovers that life in the village mainly revolves around the local riding stables and horse racing bets, but he also uncovers blackmail, infidelity, the loss of a valuable brooch, and the long-ago disappearance of the innkeeper’s son. Meanwhile, another murder is committed, and the new owner of a remote house – the young artist Nela – finds herself in danger.
