A fantastic story takes place in the first half of the XIX century. A new brother, Ivan Shaposhnikov, settles in the friary. But dark forces follow him into the monastery and from time to time they materialize as Legion (at least that is how he introduced himself to Ivan). Legion has chosen Ivan as the object of his devilish work, tempting him in every possible way in an attempt to make him abandon the chosen path of God. But the greater the temptations are, the stronger Ivan’s spiritual powers grow…
