Since ancient times, in large space there has been an all-out war between the Goncourts and the Savatters. Once they were a single people, but the conflict that broke out during the division of the Blue Stars region turned into a long protracted struggle to exhaust the enemy.

Having accidentally learned about the existence of a backward and small civilization of the Archidoxes, the Goncourts began to secretly colonize it, and then On Tousseno, a planet inhabited by people, its inhabitants began to disappear: first in tens, then in hundreds and thousands. To get to the bottom of the mystery of the disappearances of people and confirm suspicions about the involvement of the powerful ESO organization in this, police lieutenant Rino Lefler lands as part of a landing party on the planet Maxicola, presumably one of the bases of the kidnappers.
