This is the story of a simple man. Young and unassuming. He believes in every one of us. He is police lieutenant Pharaon De Winter. This is the story of his naïve existence. A sober and humble man burdened with the wrongdoing of others. He suffers endlessly from this empathy...
Pharaon's work on a sordid investigation slowly divulges his despair and the dread of his own guilt. A universal guilt, that of our very own monstrous nature. This is his sacrifice.
