Histoire
The story of the international crime series "The Pleasure Principle" begins with a gruesome discovery in three different European cities: Warsaw, Prague, and Odessa. Within a matter of days, the bodies of young women are found, each displaying the same chilling signature—their right arms have been surgically severed. This Macabre coincidence forces three local investigators—Maria from Poland, Viktor from the Czech Republic, and Serhiy from Ukraine—to overcome their personal demons and bureaucratic hurdles to work together.
As they link the evidence across borders, the investigation evolves from a hunt for a lone serial killer into a deep dive into a dark conspiracy involving high-level corruption, human trafficking, and the murky underworld of the fashion and film industries. The detectives soon realize that the victims share a common past, leading the team toward a powerful organization that believes it is above the law. Set against the cold, noir-inspired backdrop of Eastern Europe, the plot weaves a complex web of international intrigue where the boundary between the hunters and the hunted becomes increasingly blurred.
