Russia, 1906. The Millionaire merchant was going to marry one of the first beauties of St. Petersburg. But on the wedding day, she disappears, and a few days later in the lake of the estates find her corpse. All invited and, above all, the groom himself are suspected. The murder is associated with an old curse, imposed on the estate of her first mistress, who also drowned through the fault of her husband-Tiran. The investigation is complicated by a religious war between the archimandrite and admirers of the local elder, who just lives on the island in the center of the lake. Two companions come to the aid of completely dumbfounded from the mysticism of the police-an eccentric rich-aristocrat and a retired police officer.
