Polednice tests an inexperienced police partnership with a case involving a killer who strikes in daylight. A summer housing estate becomes an unsettling setting where the chance to gain experience quickly gives way to the need to confront a serious threat.
A dead girl is found on a housing estate scorched by the summer sun. For young police officer Tomáš Volf and his equally inexperienced colleague Eva Černá, the case was meant to be an opportunity to settle into investigative work. They soon discover that a killer who attacks in broad daylight is moving through the streets.

What is Polednice about?
The perpetrator leaves no obvious clues, and the media gives the killer the nickname Polednice. Tomáš Volf must handle not only the investigation but also cooperation with a headstrong colleague, pressure from his superiors, and his own inexperience. In the unbearable July heat, fears grow that another victim will follow unless the police find the killer quickly. The story centers on police work, tension between investigators, and the time pressure of hunting a dangerous offender.
