Plot
An earthquake in the north of Israel reveals a large pit in a nature reserve. Three human skeletons are discovered in the pit, and the plot gets complicated when DNA tests reveal that the three bodies' DNA corresponds to that of three human beings who are still alive.
The first is Yoel Russo, a nature reserve inspector, who raises his only son after losing his wife Hila in a car accident nine years earlier.
Another is Noam Zaid, better known as Nico, a sensory artist. During one of his shows, he gets a disturbing vision through Keren, who volunteers for his demonstration. In the vision, Nico appears to murder Keren and throw her body into a creek.
The third is a young prisoner named Avigail Lavi, who is serving a prison sentence for murder in a women's prison.
Police investigator Gabi and Detective Chava Popper are investigating the subject of skeletons found in the pit. As the investigation progresses more and more questions arise, and there seems no logical explanation.
