A group of people is walking through the taiga: a journalist, a philosopher, a vice-premier of the government, a fledgling youngster, a young woman who has found love, a priest. Everyone was called on the road by an unknown call, a call to comprehend some higher reality, about which they have no idea, but which powerfully invaded their lives. What is happening with the heroes? For one, all his ideas about life collapse, the other, on the contrary, begins to acquire the meaning of his existence, while the third cannot understand the essence of what is happening and what he is doing in this strange company. Events, conversations, difficult relationships between the participants of the campaign to nowhere form the background of the novel. Everyone tries to make sense of what is happening in their own way. But they all understand that they are part of some higher reality. And she does not leave them alone, makes them move forward, no matter what.
