The story of the confrontation between two worlds. In one, people are improving science and medicine, but the reign of universal prosperity is possible only with strict birth control. In another, weapons are being improved, protection from the external environment is being strengthened, new territories are being developed... which soon there will simply be no one to populate. A struggle of different values and ideological positions, as a result of which only one world will remain - the one that will form the basis of a new round of civilization. Since childhood, Khannika knows by what laws an ideal community should be built; she has already become an important element of the overall mechanism. And only at eighteen does she encounter something that mercilessly breaks her stereotypes. Now the world to which she is accustomed does not seem so ideal.
