En kall marsnatt slutar en biljakt med att polisen prejar en röd sportbil av vägen. Kollisionen blir våldsam. Den unge mannen i sportbilens passagerarsäte slungas ut och omkommer omedelbart. Den döde heter Valon Bericha och hans bror Jashar satt bakom ratten. Båda är sedan tidigare välkända av polisen. Även i polisbilen fanns ett brödrapar, Johan och Samuel Kangas. Johan, som körde, omplaceras dagen därpå till inre tjänst på ledningscentralen i avvaktan på utredning. Jashar svär på olycksplatsen att ta en blodig hämnd på sin nu döde bror och försvinner spårlöst efter förhör. Någon vecka senare kommer ett larm in till polisen om en övergiven bil på en skogsväg. Samuels patrull skickas dit och när han försöker öppna en av dörrarna briserar en kraftig sprängladdning. Medan den svårt brännskadade Samuel Kangas kämpar för sitt liv kopplas kommissarie Hasse Nelander-Wein och hans kollegor in på fallet. Johan Kangas och hans familj flyttas till skyddat boende på grund av hotbilden. Jakten
