Big changes have come to Nicheevo, a small district town in the north of the Tillur Empire. A huge construction project began next to it. Military engineers began to build a large bridge across the Vitaka, the great northern river, and also lay a railway. As luck would have it, strange events begin to occur in Nicheyevo. People disappear and even die. So the chief engineer of the construction site was found completely naked in the winter taiga. The townsfolk are guilty of the curse of the Nishrans, the revenge of the goddess of the long-exiled people. For personal reasons, the governor sends Turan Atina to Nicheyevo. A young detective police official will have to figure out where this is mysticism and where there are very real criminal crimes.
