The new novel by the popular St. Petersburg prose writer offers a view of earthly life from above - from the point of view of the Dominant Deity. At the same time, on Earth, the “religious prodigy” high school student Denis comes forward with his teachings, becoming the head of the Temple of the Divine Spouses. People who have experienced sorrows in life flock to the fashionable sect from different sides - a girl who was looking for a missing groom in Chechnya, the mother of a murdered child, a businessman who fears revenge... The author writes about serious things (about the spiritual stagnation that has struck society, giving rise to religious gullibility, about the emergence mass psychoses, about ways to manipulate public opinion), but does it easily, ironically, showing the talent of a writer of everyday life and a subtle psychologist, the skill of weaving a cunning intrigue.
