OK, the basic plot is that an impaled body is found in Cismigiu by two cops, (Petre Stoian a 25yrs+ veteran and his new partner Gheorghe Popescu)
Popescu, horrified by the victims pain and screams, breaks down and shoots the impaled victim. The police hush it up while they task Stoian with finding the culprit before the impaling becomes public.
More impaled bodies turn up and the police manage to surpress the news, until a body is impaled on the pitch in Ghencea football stadium during a floodlight "failure" in a match between Steaua and Rapid live on television.
While investigating the impalings Stoian finds out that several of the victims were involved in the disappearence of his brother and sister in law pre-1989 and that they were all members, at some level, with the securitate.
Evidence also points at his ex-partner (and now police chief) having been involved, the same man who is now pressuring Stoian to solve the crimes.
Stoian is torn between his duty to catch The Impaler or letting him continue to kill , convinced that this will bring him the answer to his brothers disappearence and long overdue punishment to those responsible.
