When Johanna realises the extent of Wilhelm's deception, Richard fights for Johanna's love, but drives her more and more into the arms of the migrant worker Jakub.
Johanna convinces Richard to buy the lake property at auction for an astronomical price on the pretext of an oil discovery. He is disowned by his father in return.
Johanna wants to renounce violence and makes a deal with Tyler Robertson for the good of the farmers and labourers. Jakub, on the other hand, plans an attack on Wilhelm and is killed by the Shed Guys before he can carry it out.
Johanna joins forces with Richard to avenge Jakub's death and the murder of her father. Together they carry out a devastating attack on Wilhelm's oil company.
