## Plot

[edit]

In late August 2016 Paweł, a high school Polish teacher, transfers from a Warsaw private school to Dobrowice.[2] He investigates the recent murder of a school student,[1] Asia who was his unacknowledged daughter. Marta becomes his lover and eventually pregnant. Paweł encounters local police corruption and criminal activity by both the social hierarchy and students. He meets aspiring journalist Ewelina. After that case is resolved in 2017, Paweł is coerced by inspector Radosław to go undercover at a Wrocław private school, where three students (Iwo, Magda, Tymek) disappeared before Paweł arrived. Polish intelligence officer, Karol, trained them as spies. Iwo kills and injures people at the school.[1] Paweł uses Ewelina as his informant and helps find doomsday preppers, who are planning terrorist activities. Karol kills Ewelina to hide his connection with Iwo. Tymek hacks police files, kills Radosław. Magda kills Karol to prevent his escaping justice. Paweł refuses to work for Polish intelligence agents. Five years later, in August 2022, Paweł is released from jail without conviction. He returns to Małomorze as a teacher. Paweł reconnects with Bogdan, who runs cruises using local school students as crew members. Paweł finds out about Kacper's mid-voyage disappearance, which is investigated by local police officer Ewa. Her daughter Ada is Kacper's friend. Kacper's father Waldemar is corrupt. His confederates Olaf and Robert join his schemes. They are protected by Ewa's boss Zbyszek. Paweł and Ewa also separately investigates the death of Waldemar's warehouseman Iwan. Paweł's determination escalates when Bogdan dies, officially by drowning while drunk.
