The Mire’97 begins during the “flood of the century” that hit southwestern Poland in the summer of 1997. The city’s levees burst and the unbridled element floods part of the city and the forest on Gronty. The water uncovers human remains buried in the forest, as well as the body of a teenage boy who is believed to be an accidental flood victim. These two events, only seemingly unrelated, uncover a series of mysteries in the town.
