Flick s Jonatánem musí vymyslet, jak zachránit všechny místní obyvatele, než se jejich svět úplně zhroutí – a mají z toho zavařené snad všechny mozkové závity.

Nedá se nic dělat, Flick musí porušit posvátná pravidla tajné společnosti a pokusit se zjistit, co se děje. Podaří se jí dát vše do pořádku dřív, než všechny světy pohltí nicota?
