Does this happen: what happened has not happened yet?! Veterans will answer: everything happens in the Zone. And they will be right. And the Zone gives up its secrets hard, very hard... They don’t know each other well, they are too different, but each of them has a reason to go to the Abandoned Station - where almost no one has returned from. Experienced prospector Max, disgraced but lucky Hook, a former military man named Gray, the Doctor’s strange assistant from the distant swamps, a smart guy from Emerald Lake, and finally, green prospector Danila - the Zone has gathered them into one team, which will have to find the traces of the deceased scientist Meg. After all, before her death, Meg found a rare phenomenon called the “field of artifacts.” The task seems impossible: the approaches to the station are controlled by sectarians, the road is full of mutants, anomalies and other troubles of the Zone. But no one will refuse, everyone will hit the road.
