Aleks Shan-Giray believes that he must regain himself and find freedom. And therefore he breaks up with Manya Polivanova, the woman of his whole life, and concurrently the author of popular detective stories. No one has the right to take up so much space in his life. He-Aleks Shan-Giray-can't stand not being free. And Manya Polivanova absolutely cannot stand lies and human torment. And if Alex for some reason decided to "free himself" - please. She needs to save Vladimir Beregovoy, the head of the IT department of the publishing house "LIANNA", who gets into a mystical story with a missing corpse. The corpse evaporates from the house of TV presenter Sergey Balashov, and ends up in the trunk of Beregovoy's car. Only it's another person's corpse. And even that ill-fated house, as it turns out, is not Balashova at all.
