Joergen is a forensic expert and is therefore used to examining the dead and determining how they died. But one day Joergen is 'hired' to solve a different type of case, which raises new demands to his professional judgment. On behalf of a large human rights organization, he is to investigate a group of Iraqis, who are still alive, and determine whether they have been subjected to torture or not. The case is of political importance, and Joergen's conclusion is vital to whether the case ends up at court, accusing the Danish State of war crimes in Iraq.
