Plot

The series is set at turn of 1970s and 1980s. A new, terrifying phenomenon appears on night streets - young sexual rapists with sadistic tendencies. Elite Police investigator Jiří Markovič investigates a brutal murder of a raped woman committed by a sadistic murderer. Markovič and his team arrest a suspect - Ladislav Hojer. Markovič starts to suspect that Hojer is responsible for more murders...

The series chronicles investigation and capture of Ladislav Hojer and his specific relationship with investigator Markovič. Each episode also includes another of Markovič's closed cases. These cases show how Markovič developed a specific investigative method in which he talks to the perpetrators as equals, does not elevate himself above them, does not insult them, tries to understand them, to use their dark sides to his advantage. Thus the legend Markovič was born.
