After an incredibly cold autumn, an equally unexpectedly cold winter has arrived. It didn't get any warmer in the spring either. It's July now, and the temperature is still between -35°C and -20°C.
A harsh remote mining town where coal is mined. The population is mostly men, as harsh as the coming winter. Everyone, but not Trevor, who doesn't seem to have lost his optimism.

The cold of the night enveloped the remote mining town as you approached your new home, treading carefully on the icy pavement. Inside a small but cozy room, a bearded man was snoring, unaware of the arrival of a new neighbor. Nearby, under a lamp that consumed precious energy, a violet was basking. Exhausted from the long journey, you went to sleep in your new room without even changing your clothes.

Three hours later, the sudden wail of a siren pierced the silence, causing both of you to jump out of bed. The bearded man abruptly flipped the switch, but the main light didn't turn on – the only light source remained a desk lamp, powered, apparently, by a separate energy source. At that moment, an alarm message sounded through the loudspeaker: "There has been an accident at the main substation.”

The man looked at you with slightly narrowed eyes, his smile revealing a missing front tooth. "Oi... My new roomie... I'm Trevor. And, if you ask me, it's a damned good... sign that our fuel cylinder didn't blow up into a fiery kebab mess!.. I'd say we better bundle our arses up real... damn tight then figure out what the hell's gone wrong.”
