Thirst

Kostoya returns from the Chechen War with a face so maimed it looks like a piece of meat. He confines himself to his lonely apartment, with no company save the vodka in his refrigerator. The woman next door checks on him regularly to see that he's still alive, and when she discovers the power his disfigured face has over her misbehaving son, he takes to using Kostoya as a disciplinary influence. His comfortable cocoon is further disrupted after his armmy buddies enlist his help to locate a missing comrade.
