The near future. A portal to another planet has been found on Earth. Children of immigrants can receive from their new homeland abilities akin to magic, only this gift kills most of those who acquired it, and those who remain are forced to wear blockers for the rest of their lives. Some magicians who believe that they deserve more are not ready to put up with this state of affairs, and people who think that the world will be better without magicians, even if this magician is their close relative. Pavel Velasquez was disowned by his own father, and now he has no families. But there is an easy job, a quiet life and fleeting hobbies. All this will collapse overnight, drawing Pavel into a confrontation with a mysterious organization that will stop at nothing. Who is he: a victim, a minor hindrance, a pawn that can be swept off the board with a single click, or someone who is capable of challenging powerful forces and winning?
