Synopsis

In the city of Viduana, men and woman live strictly separated. All crimes are punished hard. But not everyone is prepared to let themselves be oppressed...

The inhabitants of Viduana are shaken after the brutal punishment of Elias. An uprising is brewing and when the widows increase their iron grip on the city, they only make more enemies...

We continue to follow the three main characters:

Clara is pregnant but keeps it a secret, because she wishes to get the child out of the city. If her plan is revealed, it will cost her her life.

Silas has killed Jastar in self-defence. But the other men in the quarter turn against him. Because you cannot kill one of your own, without being punished.

Elias is hanging in the Circle of Shame, severely injured. He has lost everything and plans revenge against the widows.

Welcome to Viduana, where love is forbidden and every attempt to escape is punished with death.
