Vicious circle

Show biz glamor and gruesome serial killings, coupled with the dark and dramatic changes that were happening in the 90s’ Russia, create a highly potent and binge-worthy psychological thriller. Inspired by a true story. A singer working a restaurant gig is brutally murdered in a small town. Soon after, someone attacks a famous pop star, who looks very similar to a girl from the restaurant. A serial killer is on the hunt and the now-famous criminal profiler Shirokov and his friend detective Bragin reunite to catch the murderer. They changed and the country did too, so the investigation often hits the wall and the only way to move it forward is to go undercover with a music band, whose vocalist is the serial killer’s target. Will the criminology professor and the struggling detective manage to rekindle their forgotten friendship and find a way to work together to catch the serial killer?
