No act goes unpunished.
Aitor Orizaola, an officer of the Ertzaintza, finds himself at a personal and professional crossroads while recovering from a violent case that left its mark and facing disciplinary action. Amidst this turmoil, he receives devastating news: his nephew Denis, whom he considers a son, has been accused of murder. Convinced that Denis is the victim of a conspiracy, Aitor decides to conduct his own investigation, defying his official suspension.
The search for truth takes Aitor deep into Bizkaia, where he faces misleading clues, including a false accusation, a mysterious suicide, and a powerful family with dark secrets.
In his investigation, he is aided by Maika, a brave woman with strikingly colored hair highlights, whose experience in difficult situations and determination are crucial for Aitor. He is also accompanied by Olaia, whose knowledge of the area allows him to navigate effectively in a terrain full of dangers.
As Aitor delves deeper into the case, he discovers that his late friend Jokin is connected to the plot. Although his death is classified as suicide, Aitor finds evidence suggesting that Jokin made the decision to protect his children, linking him to a broader conspiracy involving powerful figures determined to keep their secrets safe.
Over time, Aitor uncovers a corrupt system and manages to gather the necessary evidence to prove Denis’s innocence, exposing the real culprits.
