His name is Mark Voronin, he illegally migrated from Ukraine to France. And he's in big trouble. Double trouble, and try to figure out which is worse. So, what's worse: a Romanian mafia out for your blood or an island where accidents and mysterious murders regularly occur? Mark Voronin bets on the Romanian mafia and escapes from it to the small Breton island of Balti (or “the island of madmen,” as popular rumor persistently calls it). But, it seems, he miscalculated... Not only is it not easy for him, with his seasickness, to work on a fishing boat, but the local residents shun the stranger and constantly scare him with stories about the signs that Anku, the angel of death, leaves. However, the mafia also does not intend to let him go. The question is who will get to Mark first.
