Innokendy Platonov, the hero of the novel, wakes up in a hospital bed with a blank mind. He doesn't know who he is or how he got here. Little by little, he remembered St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century, his childhood in his villa outside St. Petersburg, his first love, the revolution of 1917, his love of flying, the Solovsky labor camp, the experiments done by scientists, he had been frozen, frozen to Moscow in 1997, and woke up with the Soviet Union gone.
Will Nokendi successfully adjust to a new reality and find a home in the unfamiliar world of the late 20th century? But the most important question is: What was the force that brought him back to life and then tried to kill him again in 1999? A story of memory, guilt, and an all-enduring love that survives time, chaos, and even death.
