Plot synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Yesya accidentally encounters her father, whom she hasn't seen for 10 years. Overcoming her doubts, the girl intends to face the past—and bring back the dog her father once took with him when he abandoned the family.

"Every family has a crypt where secrets are kept, secrets that are not usually discussed. Their echoes can influence the behavior of those not directly connected to them. To cut this Gordian knot, outside support is not enough—this is the territory of a single hero's struggle."
Anastasia Ostapenko
