Zdes ne veryat nikomu, zdes prodayut vsyo, a samye strashnye tayny pryachutsya ne v sekretnyh arhivah, a v dushah zhivyh lyudey. Maykl i Keyt uznayut eto na sobstvennom opyte, kogda okazhutsya v tsentre istorii. Neuyutnyy, vymorochnyy mir - Rumyniya posle padeniya rezhima Chaushesku. Nischaya, golodnaya, stydyaschayasya sama sebya strana, gde blizhayshie sosedi ne doveryayut drug drugu, gde pokupaetsya i prodaetsya vse - ubezhdeniya, sovest, deti. Sluchaynye soyuzniki, irlandskiy svyaschennik Maykl Orurk i amerikanskiy vrach Keyt Noyman, stalkivayutsya zdes ne tolko s chelovecheskim zlom, no i s infernalnymi silami, uhodyaschimi kornyami v mrachnye tayny Srednevekovya.
