"An ominous, engaging psychothriller with an unexpected dramatic twist." - Letter-eating Bookworms

Sándor Elek, the former Hungarian diplomat, has been living his daily life in Moscow as a wealthy businessman with his wife, Olga, and two teenage children. When the Hungarian-Russian international company he founded goes bankrupt and they lose everything because of the loans, the family's only way out is to become self-supporting by moving into Olga's old dacha, which was left to them as a family inheritance and has been empty for decades.

It seems that the family manages to find the desired peace, but the dacha, hidden on the edge of the quiet forest near Voronezh, keeps dark secrets. The members of the family begin to be tormented by terrible, mysterious dreams, and a series of strange events begins: sometimes ashes are found under the equipment, then burn marks appear on the furniture and on the walls, which continue to spread over time. Some of the guests who come to the house disappear without a trace. When the spreading burn marks already appear on the bodies of the family members, it becomes obvious to the man that their time is numbered, and in order to survive, he must reveal the diabolical secret of the dacha as soon as possible.
