Although the Czech Republic is free of rabies, infected animals are suddenly found near one of the villages in the Bohemian Forest. The main character of this criminal thriller, virologist Pavel Rogl, has to map the situation, supervise the vaccination and find the cause of the infection. He is also commissioned to develop expert advice for a team of criminals who are investigating a mysterious double murder. It can't be ruled out that murder is linked to the disease. Is a murderer a man or a fugitive great beast? The rabble ministry is set in a Bohemian environment that has undeniable genius loci, it is an example of human connection with nature and in many ways it creates a separate plane of narration. Not only atmospheric, illustrative, but also its particular historical context.

The series was directed by Tomáš Bařina, based on a script by Jan Stehlík.
