Strange things are happening in the city on the Neva. An invisible griffin has built a nest on a tower in the center of the Apothecary Quarter. The Sphinx statue on the Neva embankment smiles mysteriously. Someone's cherished dreams come true on the Roof of Desires. Mysterious abductions and ancient genies, disappearances of children and powerful witches - everything that is fiction for ordinary people, is a common routine for Stepan Balabanov, staff photographer of the Night Watch of St. Petersburg. Special filters in the camera allow him to distinguish football hooligans from witchers, and bikers from shifters. But will he be able to distinguish Good from Evil and make the only right choice?
