Meniteyl - tainstvennaya biblioteka, gde hranyatsya knigi, v kotoryh zapisana sudba kazhdogo cheloveka: vse slova, deyaniya i mysli. Zapisannoe v nih neizbezhno voploschaetsya v realnost, a zavershenie toma oznachaet smert.
Ohranyat eti hroniki prizvany bery - Hraniteli, lishennye sobstvennyh istoriy i svyazannye strogim zapretom vmeshivatsya v chuzhie sudby.
Yunaya hranitelnitsa Aysha nachinaet sluzhbu v Meniteyle i stalkivaetsya s chelovecheskimi istoriyami, polnymi boli i slozhnyh vyborov. Postigaya tayny biblioteki - ot nestiraemyh «pervyh strok» do zagadochnyh «nitey sudby» mezhdu lyudmi - ona dolzhna reshit: kakova tsena bespristrastnosti, esli zaschita chuzhoy sudby vredit drugim? I vozmozhno li, ohranyaya chuzhie rasskazy, beram obresti sobstvennuyu tsennost?
