In one of the scientific institutes in Riga, a doctor of physics, Pyotr Mechnikov, working on a recently assembled experimental setup, accidentally discovers its unique properties. Secretly from the management of the institute, the scientist decides to create a private laboratory in which he can refine the “generator” and fully understand its capabilities. At the same time, he accidentally meets a girl, after which strange events begin to happen around him: the scientist is attacked by bandits, and the state institutions of Latvia are mercilessly destroyed by unknown people. The dangers are growing like a snowball, and in order to survive, the scientist is forced to take extreme measures.
