Vladimir Solovyov, the man with whom Nastya Kamenskaya was once in love, is now a successful translator and a deeply unhappy disabled person. The operational situation required Nastya to meet with him again and begin a complex psychological game. Too much is connected with the cottage village where Solovyov lives: it seems that a maniac who killed nine young men lives here. And then a double murder occurs in Solovyov’s cottage. Maniac again? Or something different? Nastya feels that the solution is somewhere nearby. But what will help you find it? Maybe poems by an ancient Japanese poet?..
