Simple Murder Story is a film that will keep the audience at the edge of their seats, while watching surprising twists in the life of a police family shaken by a mysterious murder. Jacek, a young police officer (Filip Pławiak) will do all in his power to protect the mother (Kinga Preis) and his brothers against a quick tempered and despotic father (Andrzej Chyra), who is also a police officer, involved in some shady business. When he is killed, the son becomes a prime suspect. In an effort to prove his innocence, Jacek needs to expose a complex web of intrigue that his late father was involved in.
