CGiii Comment
This is dark, very dark...somewhat troubling as to the writer's state of mind.
If you do have a penchant for the grueling...then, you are in for a tortuous 'treat'.
Technically, it's good - the pace is unrelenting...with plenty of red herrings to keep you off guard.
But...it's the performances that stand out - especially when you realise what's going on - the actors had to dig deep...going to a place where most would dare not tread.
It's dark and quite incredible.

The(ir) Blurb...
Inspector Nick Cafmeyer seems to have it all - looks, brains and a successful career. But a dark cloud hangs over his life: since the age of nine, he has been haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his younger brother, Bjorn. Plettinckx, a known sex offender, was questioned but quickly released. Plettinckx lives close by and takes fiendish pleasure in harassing Nick. Then, when a disturbing case comes to light involving a missing nine-year-old, Nick heads a massive search which turns into a relentless manhunt.
