«Moryu snitsya, budto ono – nebo»: Isabel' bezhit v Ispaniyu iz Latinskoy Ameriki ot diktatorskogo rezhima. Na novom meste ona znakomitsya s takim zhe immigrantom, poetom i perevodchikom po imeni Avendan'o. No proshloe po-prezhnemu presleduet oboih, i Avendan'o po neponyatnoy prichine vozvrashchaetsya na rodinu, gde propadaet bez sleda. V ego kvartire Isabel' nahodit dva teksta, nad kotorymi rabotal poet: vospominaniya o prebyvanii v plenu vo vremya revolyucii i perevod drevnego okkul'tnogo traktata. Na ih stranicah, propitannyh krov'yu i stradaniyami, postepenno razvorachivaetsya chudovishchnaya kartina togo, chto na samom dele proizoshlo v strane, otkuda s takim trudom vyrvalas' Isabel'. I chem bol'she ona ih chitaet, tem sil'nee rastet v ney neob'yasnimoe zhelanie vernut'sya domoy na svoy strah i risk. Tuda, gde probuzhdaetsya nechto strashnoe, skrytoe tumanom i predrassudkami, no, nesomnenno, zhivoe. «Probilo serdce goryu chas»: bibliotekar', rabotayushchiy s katalogizaciey fol'klornyh zapisey s yuga SSHA, neozhidanno natalkivaetsya na pesnyu, kotoraya, po legendam, sochinena samim d'yavolom. I eta melodiya okazyvaet zhutkoe i zloveshchee vliyanie na real'nost' vokrug. Pytayas' snyat' s sebya morok, glavnyy geroy hochet nayti mesto, gde byla sdelana zapis'. I etot put' privedet ego k tayne, kotoruyu luchshe by ne otkryvat' prostym smertnym.
