Rage
Crime Procedural | Psychological Thriller
An Adaptation of the Critically Acclaimed Novel by Zygmunt Miłoszewski
Prosecutor Teodor Szacki finds himself on both sides of the law in Rage, a gripping psychological crime thriller. When the series opens, a young woman lies dead in a scorched house in the middle of nowhere. Standing over her body is Szacki himself — still, silent, waiting. The woman is Victoria, his daughter’s friend. Two weeks earlier, she was just another face in the crowd.
The story rewinds to a bitter winter in Olsztyn. Szacki, now a single father raising his sixteen-year-old daughter Hela, is called to a seemingly straightforward case: a skeleton uncovered during construction. But forensic tests reveal a chilling truth — the man was murdered just days earlier and dissolved alive in acid. The skeleton turns out to be an assembly of multiple victims, launching an investigation that hints at a serial killer.
Amidst this, Szacki is haunted by his own moral failure. He dismisses a woman’s desperate plea for protection against her abusive husband — only to find her later, brutally beaten and left for dead. Her husband is eventually found, mutilated and mute, his tongue and vocal cords surgically removed. Szacki suspects a dark pattern: a secret network of vigilantes delivering punishment where the justice system fails.
When Hela goes missing, the case becomes personal. Szacki learns she’s been kidnapped by the same group — a twisted message to stop digging. As he uncovers the identity of the killer, a disturbing truth emerges: Victoria, the girl he would later kill, is not only connected to the first victim but is part of the clandestine organization exacting revenge on abusers.
In a final act of desperation and rage, Szacki crosses the ultimate line — blurring the boundary between justice and vengeance, protector and executioner.
