A year has passed since the death of the slave trader Borov, but the Zone has not become safer: someone began to mercilessly cut out the outposts of the “Coat of Arms” with “Anarchy” and, without fear of the military, brutally exterminated the staff of the scientific bunker in Anufyevo. All this seriously shook up the Zone, giving rise to many rumors and conjectures among its inhabitants. The threat of an all-out faction war looms, and the danger is so great that longtime enemies "Coat of Arms" and "Anarchy" have decided to join forces against a common enemy. The free stalker Gorda and his comrades, by the will of fate, find themselves in the thick of things, and the outcome of this war depends only on them.
