Beast, myth, or revenant… an ancient evil awakens, spreading its wings over a remote Bulgarian border village

In the village of Vrakola, nestled in the Tran region, mysterious and unexplainable events unfold.

As the darkness deepens, Emil’s son, Delyan Slavov, mysteriously vanishes. Joining the fight against the evil are Dana, a vrazhalitsa with mystical knowledge, and Lazar Karaivanov, a platenik – a resurrected soul with unfinished business in the mortal world. Prepare to delve into a world of folklore, mystery, and suspense in this gripping tale of the supernatural!
