After his arrest, Jan finds himself in a tense interrogation room — but he’s certain he’s done the right thing.
Half a year earlier, the young cop had an unexpected reunion in a smoky bar with his first love, Sophia, and her boyfriend, Lukas. Unlike the hollow camaraderie of the police force, time with them felt real, electric — and Jan quickly falls under their spell. Together, they rage against a world gone off the rails.
For Sophia, there’s only one hope for humanity: the mysterious deity Ophidius. At first, Jan isn’t convinced… but fascination turns to obsession as he’s drawn into a dark maze of occult rituals and conspiracy myths — until Sophia gives him an unthinkable ultimatum: prove his devotion by offering a human sacrifice to Ophidius.
