Quick Synopsis
In a city troubled by a string of murders, a detective is assigned to investigate the cases, which appear connected by their location and method, suggesting the work of a serial killer. As the investigation progresses, evidence unexpectedly implicates the detective himself as the main suspect. During this time, he is haunted by visions of a mysterious figure dressed in red, causing him to doubt his own memories and sense of identity. As he uncovers the truth behind the crimes, he realizes that the situation is far more complex and dangerous than he initially believed, leading to profound psychological consequences for him.
Detailed Synopsis of Retribution
A detective investigates a series of murders. A possible serial killer might be on a rampage, since they all are in the same vicinity and by the same method, but as the evidence points toward the detective as the prime suspect, a ghost in red follows him, and he begins to question his identity. His realization of what seems to have really happened results in something much more sinister and larger in scope, and it leaves his psyche scarred.
