Maksim, successful businessman doesn’t give a second thought when his wife, a journalist of great renown, gets a new assignment and sets out for a forsaken far away village. During the Soviet times, the village had served as the base for a classified scientific research facility, entrusted with the development of a «Happiness vitamin» in an attempt to create the man of the future. After USSR collapsed, the research was suspended and the facility shut down. But the people, on a visit to the island, continued to vanish into thin air.
