As soon as Andrei Ilyich Bogolyubov takes over as museum director in Pereslavl, strange—“wonderful”—things begin happening around him! The former director suddenly dies! He is threatened and sabotaged: tires are punctured, disgusting notes are slipped in, they suspect him of trying to close the museum, and even attempt to kill him! Soon it becomes obvious that something inexplicable, grand, and dark is taking place in the museum. Bogolyubov seriously has to take on the investigation. And figuring out his feelings toward his ex-wife—who unexpectedly and very untimely appears on the doorstep of his new home—is truly, truly strange business, Lord!
