King of Shumava: Phantom of the Dark Region

The Courier Agent

In the second season, viewers will follow the never-ending struggle of Josef Hasil as he searches for a way out of the communist labor camp where he has been sentenced to nine long years, as well as the story of his beloved Marie. Her love for the King of the Šumava will be put to severe tests. Not only must she endure interrogations and the contempt of neighbors - and even her own father - but she also finds herself surrounded by men who would prefer she forget about Josef entirely. Josef must escape the camp as quickly as possible, before there’s no one left to return to. The season will also follow Hasil’s fate after he escapes to Germany and becomes an agent for Western intelligence.
