Season 1

Nessie Moves into the "Wrong" Apartment Nothing is going right in journalist Nessie's life: her common-law partner is cheating on her, and she suddenly finds herself without a place to live. Desperate, she rents an apartment in a building with a dark reputation—six bodies have been found there in just the past month. The last victim hanged herself in the very apartment Nessie now calls home...

Former police lieutenant Naydenov and journalist Nessie become operatives of the Bureau — a special division dedicated to the study and application of anomalous phenomena. The Bureau’s areas of interest include advanced technologies and their effects on the human mind, experimental substances, hidden reserves of the human body, and unexplained human abilities.

A Pack of Wolves Is Closing In on the City... Tension is rising in St. Petersburg. Whispers spread through the streets: a pack of wolves is moving in, searching for someone. The Curator assigns Naydenov and Nessie to investigate—could a werewolf be hiding in the city? A creature of immense power, walking among humans.

Two businessmen are found murdered. At first, nothing about the killings seems unusual. But soon, far from the crime scene, the charred remains of the killer are discovered. The grass along the path from his car to where the body was found is severely scorched— as if the man had walked a long distance, quite literally burning like a torch…

An unexpected visitor arrives at the Bureau — a small, unassuming old man named Petrovich. But this quiet grandfather holds remarkable abilities: he is a seasoned telepath, a psychic of immense power. Once, he worked for the Bureau. Now, retired. But Petrovich needs help. Someone is abducting his students, one by one. Together, they form what he calls a “psychic circuit”—and that circuit is being dismantled.

On a strange summer evening at a regional holiday resort, a peculiar and unremarkable fellow named Dima decides to impress the stunning Margo. His method? A wild barefoot dance on a bed of burning coals. All of this unfolds in plain view of Vladik and his cronies. It’s clear that trouble isn’t far behind…

Filming is underway inside the grand halls of the Gatchina Palace. The production: a new feature film titled The Emperor’s Ghost. But in the middle of an ordinary shooting day, someone—or something—appears on set, right in front of the camera. At first, everyone assumes he’s an actor. But it soon becomes clear that this visitor has nothing to do with the film... or with the real world. Even the camera can't capture his image—the film comes out blank.
