Vincke and Verstuyft are experienced detectives working for the Antwerp police. They investigate the disappearance of a high-ranking official and the murders of two prostitutes, which leads them to Angelo Ledda, an assassin nearing retirement. Ledda is beginning to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, making it harder for him to carry out his assignments. When he is ordered to kill a 12-year-old girl involved in prostitution, he refuses and becomes a target himself. As Vincke and Verstuyft pursue Ledda, who leaves a trail of bodies behind, Ledda seeks to settle scores with those who hired him.
