Sara is a shy teenager who made a mistake a year earlier and thus lost her father's trust. She is framed for theft by her stepsister, as a result of which her father sends her to a correctional center. The first days in the new place are a real nightmare for the girl. She is bullied by her peers, and her lack of assertiveness makes Sara unable to cope with the surrounding environment. The roommate is a scrambler; however, she can always count on her help. There is also a new boyfriend — Alan, who catches Sara's attention at the first meeting. More problems arise when the girl miraculously avoids death, and since then, she begins to see frightening phenomena. Ghosts, flashes from the past are all dark secrets that come to light over time, and this is only the beginning of the nightmare the teenager will face.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Poland, 1944.

A young woman runs down a dark corridor and looks back sometimes to make sure no one is following her.

People trapped behind bars are screaming and begging for help, but there is nothing she can do. As much as she wants to save them, she must protect herself and the unborn child who is the fruit of her forbidden love.

She should never have fallen in love with this man, but her love for him made her save herself from death. She acted selfishly, but at the time, no one thought of playing the hero. Everyone was trying to save his life — at the expense of others.

She stops around the next bend, hearing voices coming from afar. He clings to the wall with his whole body and covers his mouth, trying to silence the heavy breathing caused by the long run. He knows that what he is trying to do now is very risky and could take her life. If he found out that she was attempting to escape from him, then he would have no mercy on her. Even if she is carrying his child in her belly.

She longs to escape from here and free herself from him once and for all. Even love for him can't stop her. The woman can no longer bear to look at the injustice of innocent people.

From under her dress, she takes out a black and white photo showing a handsome man dressed in uniform. It is the only photograph she managed to take from his office.

She runs her finger over the slippery photo, then applies it to her heart. She looks out from behind the wall to make sure she can continue her escape. The voices quiet down, so he moves ahead with a nimble step. She knows perfectly well which way she can get out. Several times she suspects the plan of the building, lying in the General's office. She did it without any suspicion.

She stops in front of the metal door and looks over her shoulder to make sure no one is around. Likewise, she opens it and plugs her nose as an unpleasant smell wafts toward her. Furthermore, she bravely runs down the stairs and looks around. She tries to recall the plan of the underground.

She is shocked to see what is hidden behind the bars. Bloodied people lie tied to chains, struggling to catch their breath. Many of them are moaning in pain and begging for help.

Her attention is caught by a young girl, she is tied to the cords and hangs helplessly over the floor.

She cannot pass by her indifferently. She decides to take a chance and help her get out of there.

He looks around to make sure there is no guard nearby. On the floor, she places the photo she has been holding so far in her hand and with deft movements unties the young woman, who falls directly on top of her out of helplessness.

She grabs the beaten girl around the waist and freezes when she hears the sound of a metal door. He leads the semi-conscious woman out as quickly as possible, completely forgetting about the photo. He wants to get out of there as soon as possible to save both of their lives.

Furthermore, he breathes a sigh of relief when he sees a giant door behind the next wall that leads to freedom. Despite her extreme exhaustion, she doesn't give up. She knows that this is her only chance....
