Famous writer Onoff is now a recluse. The Inspector is suspicious when Onoff is brought into the station one night, disoriented and suffering a kind of amnesia. In an isolated, rural police station, the Inspector tries to establish the events surrounding a killing, to reach a startling resolution.
Onoff arrives at a remote police station as a fractured shell of a man, unable to reconcile his identity with the crime he is accused of committing. This claustrophobic interrogation transforms from a simple inquiry into a profound psychological puzzle.
