1988. Mathematician Lucas Hachman makes a significant discovery: he is developing a neutron resonator - a device that will simultaneously explode all nuclear warheads on the planet. In a tense situation (Damascus has just been razed to the ground by an atomic explosion), the hero cannot overcome the temptation to use his invention as a pistol to the heads of world leaders. He builds a car, informs prominent scientists and politicians about the need for total disarmament and... finds himself in a dangerous world alien to him, the world of secret agents, espionage, murder and kidnapping.
