Inna considers herself successful: she has her own apartment (she is a former orphanage ward), a prestigious job, and besides, she has finally received the long-awaited promotion. For the May holidays, Inna goes to visit a friend, but she mixes up buses and ends up in the Olds instead of Bright Meadows. It’s a remote and even frightening place—a town that’s almost deserted, with buses that don’t run every day. Trying to get out of there, Inna wanders the streets looking for a taxi, intervenes when a father beats a boy, gets hit on the head, and loses consciousness. She comes to her senses at the train station of her hometown, not understanding how she got there, and discovers that she has neither money nor documents nor a bag with her.
But that’s not all! It turns out she has been gone for an inexplicably long time, and Old Meadows no longer exists for years… Inna tries to figure out what happened to her and realizes that she’ll have to return to the mysterious ghost city to find answers.
