Aleksei Vyazintsev is a failed actor who dreams of a career in Hollywood.

One day he learns that his father, who did not participate in his life at all, is dying under strange circumstances. For the sake of the inheritance, the guy comes to his hometown of Sheronino and suddenly plunges into a very dangerous world, where the locals are united in groups and hunt for magic books of the unknown Soviet writer Gromov. Caught up in a murder, Alexei must learn the truth about his father's mysterious past and find those responsible for his death.[3]
