Timofey Boyko, a correspondent, is sent on a business trip to remote villages of Siberia. He’s only glad about it, not knowing why exactly—something pulls him to these places, where a person is not, after all, the king of nature. A strange death of a local hunter forces Timofey to stay longer than he thought. But without really understanding why, he becomes one of the few who manages to get into the so-called parallel world and get to know its inhabitants more closely. Sometimes it seems that everything is a dream or a fog of the mind—yet after returning to his world, the inhabitants from the other space continue to follow him here as well, unobtrusively.
When an unexpected invitation comes from a foreign scientist-researcher to take part in an expedition to Antarctica, Timofey readily agrees. First of all, it was a dream. And secondly, an attempt to escape the invasion of guests from another world. But Antarctica doesn’t save him. It only lifts the veil over the mystery of Timofey himself. He begins to understand that he is not like everyone else. His memory, strangely enough, remembers previous lives—in one of them he was a resident of ancient Atlantis.
