In 1940 in Bucharest, Romania, police superintendent Moldovan is heading the investigation of an organized massacre of political prisoners at the Viraga prison. A large group of political opponents of the fascist National Legionary State regime has been systematically massacred in their cells, including several communist activists, and Moldovan's investigation soon reveals a Legionary death squad belonging to the powerful pro-Nazi Iron Guard organisation committed the massacre, and as Moldovan continue investigating the fanatic legionnaires, as its members are called, he soon also becomes a target for assassination. When his mother is murdered and Moldova himself is ambushed at her funeral, he knows he must confront the fanatic legionnaires, and personally one of their leaders, the former criminal Paraipan.
