The past disappeared without a trace: those who once lived on the surface were carried off by nuclear ash. Deep beneath Sakhalin lies a bunker called “Oasis.” For decades, its residents built a way of life and an “ideal” society where everyone has their place—so there is neither envy nor malice. Everyone here plays their role. But is it really a calling—or a purpose imposed on them?
That question torments Parker, one of the guards of the “Oasis,” more and more. Perhaps he made the wrong choice. Or maybe the system itself is far from as flawless as it seems. Curiosity becomes the first push toward the search for the truth: to go up to the surface, face what’s left of the world, discover new forms of life, understand himself—and try to answer the main question: why do we live on Earth?
