The year is 1938. While Europe dances on the edge of the abyss, a dangerous web is woven in Belgrade around the ratification of the Concordat. Count Ciano and Milan Stojadinović shape the fate of the Balkans, unaware that in eastern Serbia, at the foot of mystical Rtanj, a wrath is awakening that threatens to set the country on fire. Horrific events in an isolated monastery become weapons in the hands of powerful figures from the "Conspiracy," an organization led by Zlata Mirić and the mysterious Prizrenac, which announces the end of the old order. Amidst the turmoil, the Minh family, owners of the Rtanj mines, try to preserve their property and peace, but upcoming conspiracies pull them into the center of a conflict they cannot control. While secret societies and conspirators mobilize in Belgrade's corridors, Tane fights his own ghosts, waiting for the return of the only man he trusts - Stanko Pletikosić. Stanko is released from prison into a world he no longer recognizes.
