Rada Heumann, a successful criminal investigator, is searching for a serial killer of children. But that is just one of the secrets revealed in this story by writer Ladislav Fuks. With psychological precision, the author also explores Heumann's family background and his father's despotism, of which the younger of the two sons becomes a victim. Viki, a boy about to graduate from high school, feels humiliated by his father's dictates. He decides to take revenge on his father by questioning his infallibility as a criminal investigator.

Joseph Sheridan le Fanu's tale, "Inn at the Flying Dragon," brings dark fantasy, ghostly apparitions, and mysteries to the TV screen. It's part of his well-known collection, "The Dark Mirror," published a century ago, yet still captivating readers today. Bohumila Zelenková drew inspiration from this novella, not just for its mysterious and romantic elements but also for the characters' intriguing portrayal of the post-Napoleon era—a time when many sought greatness, even if it meant embracing deception.
