Seventeen years have passed since the atomic war. Civilization lies in ruins, and the ruins are covered with eternal snow. The insane chaos that reigned among the survivors in the first years gradually faded away, and under the ruins of Novosibirsk a new world was formed, with its own ideology, religion and economy - as if frozen in a shard of a broken mirror was a tiny reflection of the world that had wiped itself off the face of the earth. .When was Konstantin Lomaki, a young resident of the central community, robbed of what he valued most in the world - or, more correctly, in the underground darkness? — the newly formed foundations were shaken. No one expected that Kostya would want to return what rightfully belonged to him, without thinking about the consequences - which, without exaggeration, could lead to disaster. The balance of warring forces in the destroyed Siberian city is too unstable, no matter what monstrous price one has to pay for this imaginary prosperity.
