In Leipzig an undertaker named Konstantin Korff harbours a cruel secret. In Minsk an unscrupulous scientist performs questionable experiments. And in Paris a plane that is about to land crashes into an airport terminal with deadly consequences for its passengers. An investigation into the accident begins immediately, but the results are puzzling: all the occupants were dead before the plane hit the building. What the police don't know is that there was one survivor. But even as the authorities begin the investigation, Konstantin Korff and the mysterious scientist are already on his trail, all three bound together by the same curse: a curse that makes them a danger to everyone around them.
