From his youth, Stan believed he knew everything about a proper life. Duty. Love. Children. He is an exorcist—a guardian on the border between the Dark World and the world of people. What could be nobler? He is a husband and a father. What could be more proper? But for some reason nothing works out. And his wife leaves, and things don’t go well with the kids. Even at work everything is somehow wrong… Trying to survive all of this, he learns people’s secrets, understands himself, and becomes a legend.
