Artyom remains at home "in quarantine" all alone. At first, he even likes that he is left to himself - the family is in the country, the boss, although he appears with ridiculous initiatives, but only by phone. And everything would be fine, but soon Artyom begins to notice strange things: half of the scrambled eggs disappear before his eyes, a glass of whiskey moves to the bathroom by itself, and an obscene drawing of magnets appears on the refrigerator. Trying to deal with the situation, Artyom understands that everything is to blame is The Thing, which needs to be killed at any cost. Or maybe he just came up with this creature from loneliness and accumulated problems?
