Three teenagers will have to learn and accept their past so they can safely navigate through a dangerous world of secret societies and long forgotten crimes in their search of a lost Bogumil treasure.
Pandemic has paralysed the world, but in small town of Veleš, everything seems to go in the same direction as before – nowhere – until a small family returns from London to spend isolation in the safer place. Quickly, their arrival starts disturbing ghosts as mother ALMA obviously has some unsolved issues with most of the village and unruly 18-year-old DANY and his geeky and genius little sister ANJA don’t know how to stay out of everybody’s way.

Soon, Dany discovers commune in an old monastery and weird graveyard in the middle of the forest, Anja finds a way to put her talents to work and they meet beautiful 17-year-old LADA who seems to be in the middle of all the weird things happening. As three of them try to find their place in the world and solve a puzzle their mothers and their friends were fascinated by when they were their age, Dany, Anja and Lada will have to accept that both the places and the stories of their past are part of their identities and they have to deal with them to be able to turn to the future. All the members of the reluctant trio will bring their own talents and weaknesses that will help them deal with corrupt secret society, secrets that nobody wants uncovered, crimes they couldn’t even dream of and small-town grievances that will exist as long as the world is turning.
