Together with him, detective Malavrazić will try to solve the mystery of the eerie lagoons that branch off under Dorćol and where, according to urban legend, the "soft spots" are located, the points in universe which, according to the insiders, lead directly to Hell. But that's not all, because Malavrazić is haunted by his own past, especially one case in which he came into serious conflict with a powerful criminal clan.

It is this realization that leads the detective to a place where ancient beings, pagan gods and depraved ordinary mortals live among the shadows.
