The demon Asmodeus, the son of Lucifer, plays a sophisticated game, moving through time. In medieval Italy, he turns his attention to the young Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia and his lover Vanozzi Catanei. And he decides that this couple is quite suitable for the implementation of his plans. The name Borgia becomes synonymous with debauchery, incest and cruelty. During the hostilities of 1945, the demon throws “his favorite toy”, a magic crystal, to Dmitry Malyshev. And all of Dmitry’s wishes begin to come true. He returns home, marries a beauty, makes a rapid career. Neither the Borgia family nor the Malyshevs suspect that for all the pleasures and material benefits they will have to pay a high price not only to them, but also to their descendants.
