John Karmoda, a cynical and immoral criminal and murderer, fleeing from justice flies to the planet Dante's Joy, where the humanoid race of the Karrens have created an advanced civilization with their own unusual religion. A peculiarity of the planet is that once every seven years its sun enters a certain phase and emits radiation, which greatly affects the psyche and the very life of the Karrenians and people. To escape this, most residents take sleeping pills and fall asleep for several days. Very few risk trying to survive this night, anything awaits them: their innermost thoughts may materialize, secret desires may come true, they may go crazy, die, become victims of crazy people. But the most important thing that happens on this night is that it is decided which God will rule the souls of the survivors - the good Mess or his evil brother Algul. This depends on the subconscious of millions of sleeping Karrenians and on the priests and supporters of one or another god. Whose Seven Fathers will defeat at Night, that god will be born by the goddess Bosita, he will be the supreme deity in the flesh until other forces prevail in the society and souls of the Karrenians. The perverted consciousness of John Karmoda did not tell him anything better than to kill the existing Mess and become the first earthling who survived the Night. And he accomplished his plan! But, apparently, in the depths of his subconscious he was not yet a completely lost man, and when his pregnant wife Mary, who he had killed, materialized, when he had to choose between two six Fathers who lacked a seventh, he sided with Good. His child Mary became new Mass. For the first time, an earthling not only survived the Night of Light, but also became one of the seven Fathers of God! For the first time, God became half earthling, half Karren! More than twenty-seven years have passed. During this time, John Karmoda became a priest and again fate, or rather, the cardinal’s order, throws him to Dante’s Joy. On the one hand, Christianity is concerned about the growing advance of Bositism in the Universe, on the other, it has become known that Mess wants to demand that the Carrenians do not go to bed on the Night of Light, which means the inevitable death of millions of innocent adults and children. Will Karmod's father be able to figure all this out and will he be able to change something...?
