When her husband suggested that Polina Svirskaya celebrate New Year at the home of his school friend Kirill Melnikov, she immediately sensed something was wrong, because her restless husband absolutely doesn’t know how to rest!

The package included an old postcard with white lilies and a strange message…
After arriving in her hometown and settling in a hotel owned by Melnikov, Sergey studied the details and began to suspect that an old tragic story—one that all their classmates and even Kirill and Sergey themselves preferred not to remember—might be connected to the attempt on his friend.
