World War II holds the world in an iron fist. Even in the quiet harbor of El Jadira there is no shelter from the fire that is closing the ring. Rodion Gravitsky, a former White Guard staff captain, remembers the First World War too well to expect mercy from the Second. Betrayal, intelligence intrigues, the madness of dreams, love melted into hatred - and finally news that could turn the war into a real hell. First World War, Second World War - in what world are these wars taking place? And where did the mysterious ship that brought Gravitsky to El Jadira come from? Is it possible to escape from the cycle of shadows of the past, or is “Noir” forever?
