A horrific massacre occurs on the wild Carpathian border. A carriage is brutally robbed with seemingly no survivors. Legend has it that the gold stolen in the heist is cursed and has never been meant to be found.
Ondra, a ruthless but canny gang chief, is wrongly accused of the robbery. When a traumatised and pregnant Dora arrives in his village, he suspects that she has witnessed the attack. Ignoring the curse and
the rumours that the girl is practicing witchcraft, he decides to use her for his own ends. Ondra will confront the Shadow Brigands, a merciless, lawless gang and – in an unexpected twist – he will face his own past. The massacre and the cursed treasure will impact the lives of Lords, outlaws and highlanders,
becoming an obsession of the new “sheriff”: Weiss, a devout Catholic.
Who will find the treasure? Will the legend that it is guarded by ghosts prove true? Or do the real demons simply lurk in the souls of people consumed with riches and utopian dreams of freedom?
