The stalker known as Sniper violated an ancient ban by interfering with the course of time and rewriting the history of the Zone. For that, the yakuza opened a hunt for him, and there’s nowhere to wait for help. Even his longtime associate, Viktor Saveliev—known as the Japanese—turns out to be on the other side: the clan orders him to eliminate Sniper. Refusal is impossible: they will pay with the lives of the people closest to Viktor, and to save them he is ready to become an executioner and stake his own life on the outcome. Those who break the yakuza’s laws have no chance—night killers punish defectors mercilessly and inevitably.
