Plot

Agâh Beyoğlu is a retired courthouse clerk who lives alone in Istanbul. When he is diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s disease, he looks back over old case files and decides to kill, one by one, people who escaped justice, before his memory fades. He steals guns that were used as evidence in old cases and sets the courthouse archives on fire.

The young police officer Nevra Elmas, the only woman in the homicide department, finds her own name left on the bodies of the victims, and she is drawn into a cat-and-mouse game with a killer who is slowly forgetting who he is.
