Publisher's Synopsis
A puzzling story of a forgotten Soviet sleep deprivation program that reemerged in the present day, told by live witnesses of those events. Some of them were test subjects in infancy and struggle to adjust to the new order, others - represent old scientists and their followers who hunt down sleepless people to continue the secret experiment. In a torn by war part of the world another war takes place. It is less visible and concerns different generations that have nothing in common in terms of values and are somewhat similar in their approaches.
