The Back Story of Our Thriller


Siberia. Modern day.  We follow a Latvian detective as he makes his way to the scene of the crime.  He speaks quietly in an Eastern-European language, translated by subtitles.  The sounds on the scene are over-exaggerated, adding to the tension of the situation.  His assistant takes him into the shack, where a dead body sits, eyes open.  He shows the detective around the crime scene, though the detective barely looks at it.  He makes his way towards the door and leaves, as he says, "on business", demonstrating that he already knows what has happened and what has caused it.

The detective is much like a Sherlock Holmes in the way that his powers of deduction are incredible, however he is much more elegant and confident.  The rest of the film follows him as he busts the biggest Eastern-European drug cartel in history, aided by his faithful assistant.
