A grim historical drama about state oppression and the brutal machinery of detention camps, where innocent people are caught in a cycle of suspicion and violence.

After the failure of the Kossuth's revolution of 1848, people suspected of supporting the revolution are sent to prison camps. Years later, partisans led by outlaw Sándor Rózsa still run rampant. Although the authorities do not know the identities of the partisans, they round up suspects and try to root them out by any means necessary.
