After being turned down at the regional office of culture, actor Vasily Gorin stays unemployed for only a short time. He begins to see things that don’t exist in our world—and that only a few people besides him can see. Finding such objects is exactly what brings Vasily to them. He manages not only to see the invisible, but also to get onto the Beta— a parallel world whose history has followed an alternative path. At the same time, Beta’s security forces are hatching a plan to move into our world for reconnaissance and, later, conquest.
