About the devil and stray dogs

It is said that jazz music, brilliant ideas, and hundreds of dizzying romances were once born at the "Barnadett" hotel. But Nina Stelmanis finds it different now - a lonely mansion of Aunt Estelle, scorned by the local religious movement. But is it as lonely as it seems? The house, where there is no place for light, is full of strangers. Different, but united by a common secret - each of them has tied their life to a mysterious gentleman who gives people a second chance. Nina will have to unravel all the intricacies of the family estate and confront the devil possessed by obsession and passion. It will take courage to survive. But it is not only up to her to make decisions. She is just a chess piece in someone's game. Who will give the right answer to the question of what is better: death or life on a chain in the underworld?
