In the Bogorodsk district of the Nizhny Novgorod region, a legend about the Bloody Reaper has existed for many years. Once, he was convicted of witchcraft, and then, supposedly, returned from the other world to take revenge on his executioners—and since then he has been wandering around the area, frightening late-night passersby at night. When, in a cottage settlement in that area, one of its residents disappears, only traces of blood are found in his house—and a scythe stuck in the door. That awakens memories of another crime that happened here twenty years ago. Voytech and his friends—who for whom investigating mystical incidents has become a usual thing—must find out where the Reaper comes from, who he is taking revenge on, and what he is punishing for. This time they will face evil that they could not even imagine in their boldest theories.
