Novak’s Quest
Police Chief Karol Novak’s planned retirement is sidetracked when a dying man’s wish draws him into investigating the unsolved murder of a young woman two decades before.

While they work to answer these questions, this small, undermanned police force must also find a three-year-old child who has disappeared without a trace.
