Scott dies soon afterwards, but with his dying breath, reveals the name of the place he came from: Silvertown. Koster, after his release from the camp, decides to visit Silvertown and see the family of Scott. However, he finds the town to be rather angry, even Jeremy’s relatives are not happy to see him. Nobody wants to speak to him, the only one who does is hanged and Koster begins to suspect that Scott was innocent, thus the truth about the deed he was sentenced for remains hidden. The town is ruled by Warner and his henchmen, and when Koster starts investigating, he quickly makes a lot of enemies.
