He lives peacefully with his wife, their two kids, and his favorite car.

However, his simple world is turned upside down when his car is seized in connection with a smuggling case. Unknown to him, the police had hidden a dead body inside his vehicle and forced him to help get rid of it. The real shock comes later—Benz discovers the body was his missing son.
