Luck is elusive. Justice does not always transpire on the side of the innocent. Ignorance is a widespread evil. When Faruk, a retired police commissioner loses his only son, a civil engineering student in his early twenties, because of a senseless and brutal murder, he is swept into the clutches of relentless and merciless revenge. He realizes that "death to the villains" is not always a soothing punishment. Further, justice must be served in the courts of law; yet, he is sufficiently ingenious, and experienced in legal procedures to create the final and fatal circumstances to serve the fitting punishment swiftly and MERCILESSLY. Where, when, and how? Remember, "MERCY DILUTES JUSTICE!".
