In the southeast of Hungary, the town of Békéscsaba lies, where poverty, loneliness, and political division shape daily life. On a cold Saturday in December 2020, a rooster escapes from the market. He settles on a square in the heart of the city and rises to become a national hero. Moved by his stubborn drive for freedom, the residents take him under their wing. What begins as a small act of kindness grows into a sense of unity and hope. But when the rooster dies, theories about his death begin to circulate, and the newly formed community suddenly unravels into mistrust and accusations.

Police officers Kim van Beveren and Jeroen Koonings have been partners for over five years. Kim lives for the job, she's intuitive, meticulous, and driven - while Jeroen keeps things practical, treating the badge as nothing more than work. After a long, draining shift, the duo is eager to head home when one last call comes in: a noise complaint from an elderly couple, Bert and Clarissa van Zittaert.
