Imagine this. You steal down the street. In one hand you hold a big shovel to dig a hole in the ground. In the other, you carry a plastic shopping bag, and inside that bag is a head, or what remains of the severed head, of your dear mother. On January 6, 1993, Muratka Zvrko escaped, together with nine of her ten children, from the violence of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia, to her native Montenegro. At the time, her elder daughter Mensura was staying in the Netherlands. Her husband Meho did not want to leave his sick father behind. After a bizarre bus trip, Meho and her children eventually ended up in a refugee camp in Turkey. There they struggled to survive under very primitive conditions. On April 7, 1995, a week before her fortieth birthday, Muratka was murdered in cold blood. Near the refugee camp, someone bashed in her brain with a large hammer. The children's mother is dead. And the truth of it was kept a big secret. As they embarked on the quest of unraveling the truth behind their mother's murder, they discovered that millions of money that was involved, and that their mother was not the only victim who was killed by the orders of a mysterious leadership.
