STORY
For 70 years the protagonist kept a terrifying secret from everyone, and then one day he decided to tell it ...
​
It's a story about a murder, but no court in the world could convict a murderer...
​
It all started in the early 20th century in India... in a village in India where there was a caste of untouchables... where a man from the West came. He made a fatal mistake and was cursed... Everyone he shook hands with would die.
​
Our protagonist suspected nothing of the curse and became acquainted with this man. That's when mystical and inexplicable things began to happen around him....
​
The protagonist found himself in a situation where he has to make the most difficult choice of all - death or life more terrible than death.
