Indika, the central character, is a nun tormented by the internal voice of the Devil. Her persona is deeply multifaceted, and her story is an exploration of faith, moral dilemmas, and the path of self-discovery in an absurd reality.

Ilya, on the other hand, is an escaped prisoner, a miraculous survivor of a train crash carrying convicts. His goal is to find a mystical artifact called Kudets, which, he believes, can heal his decaying hand and bring long-awaited redemption.

These two characters represent a clash of opposing views on faith. Indika, plagued by inner doubts and the whispers of temptation, constantly questions Ilya’s reasoning, revealing inconsistencies in his beliefs and actions.
