Sergey worked all his conscious life. Work for the sake of work consumed all of his life space. And once again, fate hinted to him that it was time to change something—more precisely, everything. So he decided to abandon it all and move into an old little house somewhere in a remote Siberian wilderness… But a planetary-scale catastrophe shatters all his hopes. Well, he is a strong, determined man—he will build his new world out of the fragments of the old one, he will save and protect the people who trusted him, and he will survive. And Sergey must cope—simply must—since some of the friends he finds in the new world have already given their lives for the future.
