      Feliks Volkhovskii was a prominent revolutionary figure in Russia during a time of significant political upheaval. His life spanned the emergence of nihilism and populism, culminating in the formation of the Socialist Revolutionary Party. After being imprisoned three times by the age of thirty, he endured a decade of exile in Siberia before escaping to Europe, where he actively opposed tsarist rule. His experiences reflect the tumultuous changes in Russian society and the revolutionary fervor of his era.

Keiner scheint die flackernden Lichter in der Ferne zu sehen. Nur die junge Kellnerin Ellen hilft Ray bei seiner Spurensuche. Aber auch sie kann ihm nicht helfen gegen den mysteriösen Mann, der Ray wie ein Geisterschatten folgt. Ihn hinaustreibt in die Wälder. Es war kein Traum – dort lauert wirklich das Böse …
