Having failed in a desperate attempt to destroy the Zone, he longs to leave this place forever, mingling with the human crowd of the big world. The strange and unsociable inhabitant of the Zone, known to stalkers under the name Buka, did not take into account only one important circumstance: he is not like everyone else. The Zone does not want to let him go, and this becomes a terrible surprise not only for him: military men, scientists, random people feel the ominous breath of the Zone - Buka is walking by. Despair, fear, hopelessness - this is the price to pay for the patronage of the dark forces. All he wants is to become the same as everyone else, getting rid of his dubious “gift”. They can help him only in the abandoned laboratories of the Zone, where you can’t get there without true friends. But what to do when you are left alone with the whole world, grinning with all the power of weapons, fenced off with a wall of mistrust and fear? Just grit your teeth and move forward.
