A story about Petar Maraš, a Belgrade criminal in his late twenties, whose one reckless move causes an avalanche of events that will greatly affect the lives of those around him.
A masked perpetrator murders a prominent politician and leaves an old, golden coin in his hand. Nikola Bobic, a defence attorney, reluctantly takes a case and plunges into a dangerous game that will change his life forever.
The main character – philosophy professor Radomir Pavlovic is at the peak of his power when he sets out on that journey – young enough and yet not old enough to understand everything that will befall him on that journey.
The plot of the series follows the harmonious history of Serbia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries (from the accession to the throne of King Milan Obrenovic in 1882 to his abdication in 1889), from the point of view of Tanasije K. Abadzic, the king's aide, who found himself in that position through no fault of his own. Tanasije K. Abadzic is a junior military official at Obrenovic's court and the great-grandson of Crni Gruja.
