Grisha, a lonely high school boy, moves into a top-secret Russian military town as his family falls apart. He’s surrounded by mutants and monsters at school, and if that weren’t bad enough, the school building itself is trying to eliminate him.

Even in his sleep, he gets no rest; a mystery man covered in prison tattoos appears in his dreams, dragging him out of his nightmares into deadly adventures in reality.

As Grisha and the mystery man grow closer while unravelling the greatest of Atomgrad-29’s secrets, one thing becomes shockingly clear: their ultimate enemy was closer to them than they could have ever expected.
