You work for an institution, an unseen observer in a fractured, post-Soviet world where secrets are currency and influence is power. From the control room of a sprawling surveillance network, you watch over the everyday lives of two ordinary families: the Bolkos, struggling to keep their household together, and their neighbors, the Ivanovs, who seem perfect on the surface but are far from it. Your job? Document their lives, interfere as you see fit, and watch what happens.
