A young man is pushed out of his everyday routine: his brother has vanished without a trace, and unknown people are laying claim to his business, so he has to go back to the town where he grew up. The return becomes a nostalgic journey into his childhood, and memory ties him again to the place and to people who need help and protection, but who are ready to help him in turn. They come and take away everything that is yours, the publisher's note says, your freedom, your territory, your past and your memory; all you can set against them is your love and your hatred, and your criminal skills. The novel is dedicated to the history of corporate raiding in Ukraine.
