Four people disappeared without a trace on their birthday. Four people who are not related in any way: a middle-aged military woman, a man who is preparing to become a father, a successful accountant-a mother of two children and a young man-a student. The only thing that unites them is the strange postcards they received with the inscription: 'Your gift is a game. Play poorly?'The police are in no hurry to take on these cases — what does the law care about someone's strange games? But the families of the missing are sure that everything is very, very serious.Experienced psychologist Augusta Bloom and her partner Marcus Jameson take up the investigation... and very soon they come to a shocking conclusion: perhaps it is not for the four missing people that they should be afraid, but for them.
