An elite police officer breaks the law. Nothing will ever be the same again. The past always catches up with you.
Following a car accident, police officer Filip Marvan wakes up in a North Bohemian city in the early 1980s and joins the district criminal police team. Why is he there? What’s his mission? What is he to make of a world in which nobody dares defy a National Security Corps (the Communist-era national police) officer, where today’s asset-strippers are the teenage elite and people dream of jeans beyond the border laid with barbed wire? And how will he get back? Will he find crucial evidence in the case that has led to his accident? Will he learn the reasons for his father’s death? And what advice should he give his twenty-year-old mother who has just learned she’s pregnant – and only he knows that she’ll have a boy named Filip?
