In a dystopian future, a mysterious and restricted area known as the Zone exists, with rumors that it has a Room within it that grants a person's innermost desires. A guide, called a Stalker, leads two clients—a disillusioned writer seeking inspiration and a scientist who hopes to discover the Zone's scientific significance—on an expedition into this perilous territory. The Zone is filled with supernatural phenomena and unpredictable traps that challenge their perceptions of reality and fate.

As the Stalker navigates the treacherous landscape, the group grapples with their motivations and fears. They must trust the Stalker's expertise while confronting their own existential dilemmas. Tensions arise as they move deeper into the Zone, encountering strange occurrences that test their resolve and commitment to their quest. Each step brings them closer to the Room, but as they near their destination, the true nature of their journey and their own desires become increasingly uncertain and complex.
