Koby Franco lives a quiet life in Tel Aviv until a sudden call from a female soldier draws him into a mystery tied to his estranged father’s possible death in a suicide bombing in Hadera. Reluctantly, Koby joins the investigation, following a trail that pulls him into the hidden chapters of his father’s recent life.
As Koby pieces together evidence—from a vacant apartment to a disconnected phone line—he gradually reconstructs the last months of his father's existence. In the process, the search forces him to confront the deeper truths about family, identity, and the shadows that linger in a post‑conflict society.
