    Feature

A junior officer at the Hague Tribunal of Justice, Vince is young and ambitious. Nikola Radin (“the General”) was a highranking officer in the Yugoslav Army. When the wars in Socialist Yugoslavia started, he resigned his post and disappeared into his remote ancestral homeland.

Vince believes the only way to convict war criminal Colonel Pantic is to find the General and get his testimony. But this mission will put both their lives at risk.
