The protagonist of the comic «Palace» is a fictional Soviet architect named Zodchiy.
It is 1938, and Zodchiy lives in the famous House on the Embankment, preoccupied with developing the monumental architectural project of his era—the colossal Palace of Soviets.

One night, his restless sleep is interrupted by a loud, sharp sound: someone is banging their fist on the door of the apartment across the hall.
