After a nuclear war and many years of Timelessness, humanity has risen from the ashes! Two powerful empires were formed on Earth - Russian and Anglo-Saxon, and many smaller states. Denis Tretyakov never expected that he would have to leave his native Petrograd, but his father, the staff captain of the OBKhSS, was sent to restore order in the Republic of Semirechye, where they settled dishonest businessmen who escaped from the Russian Empire. His family is traveling with the staff captain. Denis had to part with his friends and end up in the village of Sedmoy Gorny, where power actually belongs to the powerful Energia company, which is interested in making a profit at any cost. Local morals are strikingly different from those in Petrograd, and not for the better. But Denis does not give in to difficulties. After all, he is a pioneer! And the pioneer oath says: “Everything I can do for the Fatherland!” All I can do is to the nations! Everything I can’t do, I can do!”
