Steel construction with thick water volume buffers heat. Even after the fire dies down, the boiler continues to radiate warmth for 2–4 hours.

The episode focuses on the initial crime scene discovery. We are introduced to the protagonist—a complex detective with their own personal demons—whose methods clash with the local, more traditional way of life. The pacing is deliberate, using the pilot to build the world, establish the uneasy relationship between the city investigators and the rural locals, and plant the seeds of a conspiracy that goes deeper than a simple crime of passion.

The 7-part mini-series, broadcasted natively on LTV1 , is an adaptation of Jānis Jaunsudrabiņš’s classic novel "Jaunsaimnieks un velns" ("The New Homesteader and the Devil"). Scriptwriters Inta Bernova and Gunta Kalniņa masterfully modernized the source material's allegorical themes to reflect the raw reality of the early 2000s. Core Specifications of the Series
