What corrupts an innocent man? What drives him to corruption? What leads him to sin? What are the conditions that make him subject to and undergo this change? And what type of society produces such individuals?
    
    Miroslav, a kind-hearted, and exceptionally talented young college student, dives into the somber and murky suburbs of Svyatnadomagrad, a gloomy and anarchic urbanized city consumed by greed and hedonism, to attend university and pursue higher education. 
    
    Originally from a small conservative rural town, Miroslav is haunted by his thoughts on conformity and individuality, and struggles living life as an individual within the concrete jungle, a very unfamiliar environment. As he tries to adapt to campus life and living with only himself, along with the overwhelming desolation and misery he faces, he is pulled straight into a maelstrom of mischief and poorly-made decisions, which further supplement his inner turmoil. He finds himself vulnerable to and easily tempted by the demons that lurk within the depressing slums of Svyatnadomagrad. 
    
    A dark and tragic story about a promising student's roller coaster of a journey to find answers to questions that had always troubled him: "Who am I? What does it mean to live? Is life worth living?"
