What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The killer leaves the number 220 and quotations from Pythagoras at each crime scene, requiring criminologist Dimitris Lainis to decode their significance.
The murders target people connected to a hit-and-run acquittal, while Lainis sympathizes with the killer because his own father suffered a similar accident.
The opening 1987 birthday party and the 2007 hit-and-run precede the 2015 murder investigation and frame its personal history.
A false witness, crooked judge, corrupt lawyer, and dishonest doctor collectively secure the drunk driver's freedom.
