Tony arrives at the Pieter Baan Center after committing another violent robbery. Over seven weeks, a team of behavioral researchers evaluates his mental state and personality. Their task is to determine whether he is accountable for his actions and if he requires compulsory care. The investigation is independent and commissioned by the Ministry of Justice. The findings will ultimately guide the judge's decision regarding Tony's future and the risk of reoffending.
