A former postgraduate student who was working on her dissertation on the life and work of the prominent poet Vasyl Stus and now, by the will of circumstances, has become a nurse, was offered to care for a woman dying of a serious illness. As it turned out, the seriously ill woman was a former KGB colonel and met Stus many times, especially in the last days of his life. The novel depicts the life of the poet in his native Donetsk region, surrounded by friends, teachers and writers, and in a concentration camp, where prisoners of conscience were held, blaming them for their beliefs. The novel also pays much attention to the fate of the poet's last manuscript collection.
