La colegiala de Leningrado de ayer, Masha Yablochkina, después de un feroz bloqueo de invierno de 1941-1942, llega a las vías del tren con la esperanza de sobrevivir y ganar fuerza. Desde allí, la niña es enviada a la construcción de la carretera Shlisselburg, que conecta la ciudad con el continente y está a la vista de la artillería alemana. Entonces, la heroína ingresa a la columna de locomotoras 48 de la reserva especial NKPS, que, a costa del riesgo mortal, tendrá que entregar el 75% de toda la carga y el equipo militar a Leningrado.
Alex is a charming adventurer who substitutes for a contestant shaman who dropped out at the shooting of a high-rated television show, popular among psychics. He repeats a prophecy on the air that he overheard backstage. He foretells that someone in the audience is doomed to everlasting solitude and that her nearest and dearest will turn their backs on her. Alex has no idea that what's been going on is no coincidence: he has become involved in a long-standing rivalry between two powerful wizards. These psychics have drawn him into a dangerous, mystical game with no rules. Strange events start to take place in the life of Tanya, the girl Alex "cursed" at the show. Alex tries to assure her there is no "curse" at all, and slowly falls in love with her. Still more signs manifest showing the prophecy is true, and it begins to threaten Tanya's life. To save himself and Tanya, Alex is forced to find a way out of this mystical mess.
