"Maybe this is what I am. A human couldn’t survive what I survived. Maybe my genes are making me an animal, a parasite feeding on radiation."Pripyat, 1987. The reactor of the Chernobyl NPP has been buried beneath a sarcophagus made of steel and concrete and endless silence has fallen upon the exclusion zone. In the dead city of Pripyat only the mortally ill Anastasija Sorokin remains, seeking to spend her last weeks in this abandoned world. But when she meets a strange creature at the deserted sarcophagus, everything changes. The nuclear fire has burnt a hole into the world that is big enough to fall through. Anastasija now has to realize that the sickness that has been torturing her for so many years makes her unique. And suddenly she, the dying wanderer, holds the responsibility for the lives of so many in her hands – because the void between the worlds not only awakens the human hunger for power, but also the attention of beings nobody but her can understand.The World Across. A mystery-drama.
