He has earned the trust of his reports, but continues to be haunted by cases from the past. When a gruesome murder is committed in the area, Prosecutor Dobosz is appointed the chief investigator and anxiously returns to the Bieszczady Mountains. Wanted by the police, Rebrow is hiding in the backwoods. He is struggling with the wilderness and stays in touch with only two of his friends – Łuczak and Marta. Everything changes when an illegal immigrant, Alsu, walks into his hideout.
