Twenty-three years behind bars - awaiting execution for the murder of his wife and son, which Bierce did not commit... He had long ago lost all hope. But suddenly he was released and paid a huge amount of money - compensation for a miscarriage of justice. You can start life from scratch sheet? So Beers thinks - until he returns to his hometown. His house is sold. All accounts have been cancelled. And he himself, as it turned out, has long been considered... dead! What's going on? He asks questions - and gradually understands: the people who kept him in custody had nothing to do with the law. For now, Bierce knows one thing: he will have to single-handedly find the killer of his family and those who crossed him off the list of the living.
