Two worlds collide as light battles the dark in this large-scale phenomenon almost beyond comprehension. The evil witch Agapa threatens to ignite a war so big that not even the bravest hero alone will be enough to save Russia. Mike Veselov (Disney Genisys) and Kirill Andreev (The Last Keeper) join forces, to protect the country's citizens from increasingly destructive hordes of Dark Mages hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth. When they uncover a plot that could end the world, they must work together to restore the cosmic balance...or watch the tunnel to Umbra start sending angry souls the very wrong way.
