Alexander Voronov is a policeman in the remote village of Khar Turlak, lost in the steppes. To save his brother from a murder charge, he is forced to accept an inherited gift—the ability to travel to the spirit world and communicate with the spirits of the dead. Now he is a shaman, capable of unravelling cases previously considered hopeless. However, danger awaits him in the astral plane — the ancient demon Boholdoy, who is hunting for his soul.
