Vienna, 1920. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has collapsed. Peter Perg returns home from the Great War, after seven years as a Russian POW. Vienna is experiencing the multiplicity of political, social and artistic freedom, but also the rise of anti-democratic movements, insecurity and unemployment. Peter, a former police inspector, feels like a stranger in the new Austrian Republic. While wanting to leave town, Peter is confronted with the murder of one of his former comrades. He decides to stay and instead bring the killer to justice. His ally is Dr. Theresa Körner, a determined and cool-headed forensic doctor. The two are linked not only by this case, but also by a deeper, shared history. As their investigation progresses, they realise that they are not just up against a systematic killer, who tortures his victims, but also face disapproval and intrigue from within the police force. Though determined to solve the crime, Peter, harbouring his own secrets, increasingly becomes tormented by existential questions: What is truth? What is heroism in the time of war? And all the while he fails to see the mounting danger before him. 译文(3): 维也纳，1920年。奥匈帝国已经崩溃。彼得·佩格（Peter Perg）在结束了七年的俄罗斯战俘生涯后，从二战中回国。维也纳正经历着政治、社会和艺术自由的多重性，同时也经历着反民主运动、不安全和失业的抬头。彼得是前警察督察，在新奥地利共和国，他感觉自己像个陌生人。当彼得想离开小镇时，他面临着一名前战友的谋杀。他决定留下来，将凶手绳之以法。他的盟友是特蕾莎·K博士；rner，一位意志坚定、头脑冷静的法医。这两者不仅因本案而联系在一起，还因一段更深层次的共同历史而联系在了一起。随着调查的进展，他们意识到，他们不仅要面对一个折磨受害者的系统性杀手，还要面对来自警方内部的反对和阴谋。尽管彼得决心解决这一罪行，但他隐藏着自己的秘密，越来越受到存在主义问题的困扰：真相是什么？战争时期的英雄主义是什么？而他始终没有看到面前的危险越来越大。
