The curse of the priests of an ancient Indian tribe - fiction or reality? Writer Irina Tatishcheva was sure that this was just a beautiful legend. But then why do Irina’s cousin Laima and her husband mysteriously die as soon as they manage to get a figurine of Melcoatlan, the Indian goddess of the Moon, into their collection? Irina without hesitation accepts the invitation of Laima’s friend, Professor Ivanitsky, to accompany him to a congress of experts on ancient Indian civilizations: what if this will help shed light on the mysterious death of her relatives? In France, Tatishcheva becomes convinced that the curse of the Indians continues to operate - Ivanitsky dies after falling into a well. To avoid the fate of those who have already become victims of the bloodthirsty goddess, Irina needs to figure out what is behind these deaths: the revenge of a disturbed ancient deity or is it just part of the plan of unknown hunters for the fabulous treasures of the Indians?
