Our ancestors knew that the souls of dead people go to a mysterious, hidden place called Vyray. Now it is considered fiction, because witchcraft, evil spirits and miracles do not exist. The ritual, which began many millennia ago and only ended in the mid-twentieth century, separated the otherworldly and human worlds. Magical power has become inaccessible, New Year's wishes are no longer fulfilled, and wood goblins do not care about the forests. Some supernatural creatures are still trying to live among people, but their time is coming to an end. Everything changes when the inhabitants of a modern Belarusian village kill a ghoul. Now Vyray has a chance to be revived.
