The police officer FERENC (30) is informed about an accident at the water tower, where he finds the body of a 9-year-old girl. Her sister EWA (14) flees the scene. EWA’s father reports to the police that EWA killed her sister. FERENC refutes the accusation. He begins to take interest in EWA, a promising gymnast. It turns out EWA is pregnant.

Meanwhile, FERENC’s wife, IZA, dies in labour. Instead of mourning, FERENC buries himself in his work to uncover a drug gang. At a speedway competition, he finds out EWA dates PATRYK (19), a gang member. FERENC ambushes PATRYK, who is killed during the police operation because of FERENC’s fault. The police officer has to leave town.

9 years have passed. Upon his return from a mission in Kosovo, FERENC gets promoted to the Head of the CID. EWA (now 23) has become a cheerleader, juggling single motherhood and a love triangle with BURY (26), a speedway star, and his girlfriend GOSIA (22), EWA’s friend. While EWA spends the night with BURY, her daughter ANIA goes missing. FERENC launches a search, trying to get closer to EWA. It turns out ANIA was murdered. FERENC arrests ANIA’s alleged murderer, though there is no evidence against him. When EWA appears to be back on track with her life – she was offered GOSIA’s leading role in the cheerleader group – FERENC learns that GOSIA’s burnt body was found in a skyscraper lift. FERENC arrests BURY. EWA starts dating FERENC. They seem to have a chance for a happy relationship. They have sex but then EWA accuses FERENC of raping her.

FERENC tries to prove that EWA is a serial killer. Yet, no one believes him. FERENC’S COLLEAGUES tell him to come to the water tower, where he discovers the body of his daughter ZUZIA. EWA is found guilty of murdering GOSIA and ZUZIA. Still, she claims she is not as bad as she is thought to be. After the sentence, FERENC visits EWA in prison. He appears to plan revenge. EWA is ready to die but FERENC lets her live.
