Autumn 2004, Voldansk is a town north of the Eastern Sayan Mountains. Returning from school, third-year student Veronica discovers her own mother brutally murdered at home. From this moment on, the girl discovers a completely different side of reality - a twilight world in which the creatures that gave rise to myths about vampires and werewolves live very close by. Here, hidden from view, and subject only to their own laws, there is a confrontation between those who have lost the remnants of humanity and those who, like faithful dogs, have served the knowledgeable people for centuries. What did the girl’s mother really pay for with her life? What secrets does Veronica’s named uncle keep, and is he really just a local police operative? Why are they trying to control her every step? What to do if you begin to doubt even your own memories? Take everything on faith?.. Or look for answers, regardless of the cost?
