In the war-ravaged streets of Bucha, Major Andriy Koval is not just a homicide detective, he is a ghost haunted by the two faces he cannot find: his wife and daughter.

Assigned to document the unspeakable atrocities left by the retreating Russian army, Andriy moves through a landscape of horror with a cold, professional detachment. But amidst the chaos of mass graves and summary executions, his trained eye spots what others miss: a pattern. A signature.

The victims are bound not with standard zip ties, but with a specific, industrial-grade electrical cable. This is not the random brutality of an army. It is the cold, methodical work of one man—a ghost in the ranks nicknamed the Myasnik, The Butcher.

When official channels declare the trail cold and the case unwinnable, deeming it a single drop of water in an ocean of war crimes, Andriy is faced with a choice. He can accept the hollow justice of a world at war, or he can make a new one.

Shedding his rank, his identity, and the laws he once revered, Andriy Koval trades his detective's shield for a soldier's rifle. He goes rogue, following a trail of whispers from the suburbs of Kyiv to the brutal trenches of the Donbas front, where the Butcher continues his work. His hunt becomes an obsessive descent into the heart of darkness, a journey where every clue is paid for in blood and every step forward costs a piece of his soul.

To close the Butcher's ledger, Andriy must write the final entry himself. But when justice is no longer an option, what is the true price of vengeance?

"The Butcher's Ledger" is a gripping, harrowing noir thriller set against the stark reality of the war in Ukraine.
