For sixteen long years, recidivist thief Micah nurtured the dream of escape. The first attempt to escape from the zone was unsuccessful, and he again found himself on the bunk. But fate gave Micah another chance. One out of a thousand! And it would be unforgivable not to use it. Moreover, the smell of freedom and mortal risk was intoxicating and heightened all senses to the limit. Like hunted animals, Micah and his accomplice, nicknamed Count, are making their way through the impenetrable taiga. Any attempt they make to make contact with people becomes mortally dangerous both for themselves and for those around them. You have to pay for everything, and doubly so for freedom. And the price of this freedom is great.
