За мотивами однойменного роману Анатолія Шкаріна.

1993 рік. Через стихійне лихо письменник-початківець з Харкова стає заручником маленького рибальського селища, скутого лещатами крижаного жаху. В околицях відбуваються жахливі вбивства, котрі забобонні хуторяни приписують моторошному болотному монстру. Та чи зможе юнак розплутати клубок таємничих обставин, якщо йому, здається, протистоїть сама нечиста сила? Адже дядько, «божевільний професор», залишив йому у спадок не лише будиночок, але й страшну таємницю, пов’язану з покинутою надглибокою свердловиною.

On a high mountain by the ocean there’s a small town called Amberwood, in caves of which life has been developing for many years. Its residents did not realize that in the meantime another life form, quite different from the human one, was developing just under their feet.

Years went by, and the story of the cave creatures became an urban myth that local kids used to tell in order to scare their younger siblings, and only the older generation living in this town knew well that all of that was true.

Life in the town changed when local authorities decided to build underground sewerage channels. Or so-called collectors, due to the high rainfall in this region. The project aimed at solving the problem of frequent flooding in residential areas of the town after heavy rains, as well as draining wastewater to the nearest water bodies.

During construction, workers began to stumble upon sealed tunnels, which weren’t previously displayed in the general plan of the town. Without any hesitation, the builders began to use them as additional spaces for water drainage, not realizing that by doing that, they had destroyed the barrier between two completely different worlds. A world of eyes that haven’t seen sunlight in centuries.

About the strong-minded pilots of the 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Petro Franko Air Force. The defenders on Su-24s were burning columns of Russian occupants near Gostomel and near Brovary. They fought for Kherson and Zmeinyi Island. They helped to regain the Kharkiv region and are now holding back the enemy in the South.

The film highlights the memories of colleagues, relatives and friends of the fallen aviators.
