Lara had it all - a career in New York, prestige, plans for the future. She loses it all because of one mistake and the betrayal of someone closest to her. With a wolf ticket and a broken heart, she returns to Podlasie, to the home she once fled. There, waiting for her is not only the family business but also the two-year guardianship of the ruthless CEO, Lucas - a cold, distant man, clearly convinced that Lara is the last person who should have any influence over the company. Their relationship sparks from the start, but beneath the veneer of resentment, something begins to smolder that neither of them wants to name. However, returning to her hometown opens much deeper wounds. An encounter with her addicted father and a confrontation with her domineering grandmother force Lara to confront the painful truth about her childhood. Family secrets are revealed, shattering her carefully constructed image as the matriarch of the family - a strong yet toxic woman. Lara sees how much she's become like her and begins to understand that she hasn't learned to be a responsible, adult woman. Small Shocks is a story about painful returns, about love born against reason, and about traumas passed down through generations. After a series of small shocks, will these two women - granddaughter and grandmother - have the courage to make the biggest change of all: self-love?

On a rainy autumn morning, the body of a drowned man is discovered in a fish pond near Zalesie. It appears to have been an unfortunate accident. However, it soon transpires that a week earlier, in a nearby forest parking lot, Commissioner Iwo Wilkowski had discovered the brutally mutilated bodies of two young people. The injuries match those previously inflicted by a serial killer known as Cupid. Except that this monstrous love-slayer was apprehended thirty years ago. Has a copycat emerged? Or perhaps a mistake was made in the 1990s, and the real perpetrator is still at large?
Thanks to investigative journalist Oliwia Bacewicz, Deputy Commissioner Michalina Murawska quickly discovers that the horrific events of her past are connected to her family, and that the colleague she had begun to trust actually joined the Piaseczno unit specifically to arrest her. However, the unconventional Deputy Commissioner Kaja Dalke has even more to hide. Oliwia Bacewicz also didn't reveal the whole truth.
Prosecutor Grzegorz Hala would love to help his friend solve the mystery of Cupid, but he, too, is having problems. A mysterious package he discovered in the trunk of his Mercedes appears to be from the criminal group he's currently investigating. Will the four investigators be able to solve the mystery before Cupid strikes again? Or perhaps this serial killer... never existed?
