2016. A new generation collider has been launched. During an experiment with high energies, something went wrong, and humanity plunged into suspended animation for 30 years. Everyone fell asleep, but not everyone woke up. Igor Morozov woke up on a ferry off the coast of Estonia. An ordinary business trip turned into a terrible nightmare. Now his native Tallinn is dilapidated houses, dead cars and brutalized people. Igor walks through the city disfigured by the disaster to his son, for whom he never had enough time before. But instead of one boy, he gets a whole kindergarten in his arms. Now he has five children left without relatives and state. Morozov does not divide them into friends and foes... Who will these small inhabitants of the resurgent world become? Barbarians or builders? Killers or doctors? Time will tell. For now they are migrants. And there is a long way ahead.
