Driven investigative journalist Viki begins to investigate on her own in the small town, and not everyone appreciates her poking her nose into other people's business. Marek refuses to credibly explain the gaps in his alibi, making him the prime suspect. Tensions between Elena and Adam are intensifying, as Adam will stop at nothing, shows no regard for anyone, and even involves Elena's son Tomáš in the investigation. However, when the real reason behind the gaps in Marek's alibi is revealed—thanks to Rebeka, the owner of the local guesthouse—it causes yet another upheaval in his already struggling family.

Out of desperation over the police’s continued failure to find the perpetrator, Barbora begins to place her trust in a charlatan. Thanks to Viki, media attention also turns to the Lichner family at a time when what they need most is peace and privacy. Adam starts facing demons from his past, and for the first time, his ability to investigate the case is seriously called into question. Yet he stubbornly rejects all of Elena’s attempts at reconciliation. Strange and mysterious ties also begin to surface between Marek’s friend Noro and Zuzana, who only recently moved to the town.

Despite Elena’s objections, Adam prioritizes the investigation over his own health—but time is running out for him. Elena puts pressure on Zuzana, who is becoming increasingly suspicious in the eyes of the police. She inexplicably refuses to clarify her role in Daniel’s death or the mysterious connection she has with Marek’s friend Noro. Meanwhile, Marek and Barbora are trying to save their marriage, and the intense investigation is beginning to take a toll on Elena’s relationship with her husband Jozef. Adam’s demons from the past are finally catching up with him.
