In the tense atmosphere of a war-torn airfield, Kharkova—demoted for her volatile nature—finds herself piloting a high-performance fighter, isolated by her reputation and her eerie conversations with the memory of the long-dead Zoya. When a sudden attack forces the young pilot Merkulov into a breakdown, Kharkova must face both the chaos of combat and the quiet, unsettling presence of her past. The colonel’s stern guidance and a cryptic remark about Anna hint at unseen connections beneath the surface.
