A black pickup truck rushes through the darkness along the narrow roads of western Donbas. Black bags, secured with ropes on the roof, tremble and shift at the turns, as if something alive is inside. The clothes and vehicle of Oleksii smell of death.

Oleksii Yukov is a man whose daily task is to deal with the world of the dead. Like the mythical Charon, he ferries the souls of the fallen to the place where they will find eternal peace. But Oleksii is a guide not only for the dead but also for the living. He has much to tell about death.
