[3] The series is set in 2003; 20 years after a coordinated terrorist attack took place on multiple sites in Poland in 1983 which altered the course of history.

Law student Kajetan (Maciej Musiał) and Citizens' Militia investigator Anatol (Robert Więckiewicz) uncover a conspiracy that could potentially start a revolution.

The secret police of the Security Bureau now use computer surveillance mechanisms, tracking cell phones and digitizing citizens' data (classified according to their "level of danger").

Society is run by the "Party", a privileged elite who enjoy a good education, high economic and social status, and live in gated compounds.

There are few explicit references to communism in the series (no statues of Lenin in the streets, no red stars on uniforms or revolutionary chants).
