Night. A deserted highway. The car has stalled, and Agatha can only hope for a miracle. In search of salvation, she discovers a house where lives a mysterious Apothecary, who helps her get out. But this is not a happy ending, but only the beginning of the story. Soon Agatha realizes that she has fallen into a trap: someone, invisible and unknown, as if avenging her unknown for what. Terrible, even monstrous, events happen to her, she doesn't feel safe anywhere and doesn't trust anyone anymore - neither her friend, nor her favorite man, nor even herself. The whole world is against her, and no one will save her but herself. Strangely, every thread she pulls leads to the Apothecary. And that is the biggest mystery of all. Who is he? Savior or villain? He seems to be "part of the force that eternally wants evil and eternally does good."
