Marat Bessmertnykh works as a make-up artist in the morgue. His job is to give the dead a more or less personable appearance. And he, a makeup master, does it well. There is no end to clients. But one of them seems strange to Marat. He asks the make-up artist to come to his house and make up his late wife a second time. When Marat and his friend, pathologist Petrukha, arrived at the client, they discovered that he was dead, and the corpse of his wife had disappeared. This despite the fact that no one entered the house. It turns out that the man was killed... by his dead wife! Finding out what really happened, Marat understands: someone used the ancient and terrible magic of Voodoo. Moreover: a doll has already been sculpted for him too...
