Caesar and his group must navigate between the strict codes of the military world and strategic stakes, but time is running out because Caesar's team understands that someone is trying to erase evidence. As the interrogations progress, tensions accumulate, and the police must juggle between the orders of the general staff and their own quest for the truth.
