This shocking revelation disrupts his comfortable existence, especially as he embarks on a passionate affair with a brilliant woman. Determined to uncover the motives behind the murder plot, he delves into the lives of his would-be killers - a disparate group of street criminals and rural misfits - and their mysterious leader.
As he delves deeper into the investigation, the journalist is compelled to reevaluate his own life, including his self-perception, career, relationships with women, and his complex feelings towards his homeland, which bred the individuals seeking his demise.
