The adventures of the legendary hero Sniper continue! An unusual ejection swept over the Zone, completely drying the backwater of the Pripyat River, where the "scavengers" dumped the rarest artifacts for years. It would seem that go and row them with a shovel - but this is not so easy to do. The most severe radiation background kills all life in this place, besides, it is now filled with bloody fog, from which no one has yet returned. The sniper remains obsessed with bringing his fallen friends to life. And now the path to his goal lies through the backwater, which is actually tantamount to death. In addition to this, all the large groupings of the Zone show serious interest in the "klondike of artifacts": "Borg," "Volya," bandits, mercenaries who will never allow a lone stalker to treasure hidden in a red fog... But the Sniper is still ready to go, despite any obstacles, even knowing for sure that he cannot get out of there alive.
