Táto séria sleduje život mladého muža v napätom politickom klímu, kde sa ideály stretávajú s realitou. Dej sa odohráva v prostredí, kde láska a osobná sloboda sú v rozpore s prísnymi spoločenskými a politickými normami. Hrdina sa potýka s vnútornými konfliktami, morálnymi dilemami a hľadaním vlastnej identity v turbulentnej dobe. Je to pútavý príbeh o odvahe, zrade a túžbe po slobode v zakázanej krajine.
