"This evening at twenty-two hours, a salute will begin in all cities of Russia in honor of the holiday. At the same time, a series of explosions will be heard that will erase our university from the face of the earth..." Lera Lanskaya, a student at the closed university of science and arts named after Obolensky, lost her academic advisor at the very beginning of the academic year. The old professor died in an accident, and shortly before his death, he handed Lera a strange envelope with an engraving depicting a dead man in exactly the same pose in which he will be found. Lera starts an investigation, but she encounters a new academic advisor – young and daring. When Lera uncovers his true identity, it becomes clear: something strange is happening at the university, and she will not be able to solve all the mysteries on her own.
