Vares – Sukkanauhakäärme

Under the cover of night, a distant stranger plays the piano. Meanwhile, in a nearby hillside prison, a resentful inmate who has been betrayed gazes at the cityscape beyond the rooftops. He is plotting his revenge, and the murderous convict is preparing to make his escape. Vares, a private investigator, takes on a new client with a suspicious case. Despite the allure of the client’s beautiful wife, Vares senses something is amiss. As summer night unfolds, a gunshot echoes, marking the end of a life and altering Vares’ investigation. His search for answers leads him to face-to-face encounters and second-hand bookstores; a trip to the gym uncovers a drug-smuggling operation from Stockholm. Vares becomes ensnared in a web of illicit money and luxurious silk, while a sly garter snake lurks in the shadows.
