Ж-12 is a former stalker who has returned from the Zone for 10 years. His beloved wife went missing when she flew to another country on a plane. He despaired of life and thought every day about how to find her. And then he receives an alarming message from his friend, also a former stalker, who claims to have information about what happened to his wife. Having collected old equipment and weapons, he prepares to return to the Zone - a place full of dangers that he thought he had left behind forever. He understands that this is his only chance to find out the truth.

Deepening deeper, Ж-12 faces numerous dangers: mutants, hostile groups and traps left by stalkers. He explores abandoned locations, collecting evidence about what happened to his wife. Each battle takes a piece of his soul, but his determination only grows stronger. One moment. Darkness in his eyes and pain in his head.

He sits in a dark cell, having shifted a little, he realized that he is tied to a chair and there is someone else behind him. Turning his head, Zh-12 ​​finds his wife, tied to him with one rope. Hope and fear are intertwined in their gazes.

— My God! You are alive... I have been looking for you for so long, baby.

As soon as he began his words, a shadow appeared from the corner of the room, a dark silhouette of a man.
