Alex becomes embroiled in a plot that confronts her with the world of Slavic beliefs, ancient monsters and bloodthirsty deities.
The series was created entirely in Krakow and its vicinity. We will see characteristic locations and iconic places such as the Krakow Main Market Square, Grodzka Street, the Jagiellonian University, the Old Jewish Cemetery, Wieliczka, the natural landscapes of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland and the vicinity of the Krak Mound.
