Endless night calls for requests, terrible stories related to work: a burnt partner, an attack with a knife by a drunken hulk, attempted murder and bullying of a colleague by a drunken gang who accidentally replaced Stas on the request, a foreman gone crazy in search of “what, how and where” snatch,” the scams and fraud of his superiors plunged Stas’s life into an uncontrollable direction. The senior officer of the task force, Captain Starikov, receives the case of the murder of a schoolgirl and the dismemberment of her body. The complete lack of evidence and suspects, however, did not stump him.
