Russia in the 90s was mired in gang warfare. There is confusion and lawlessness in the country. As always, in times like these, it is the simple innocent people who suffer first. This is exactly what happened to the main character of the picture.
Nikita Efremov (Vladimir Yaglych) came to Moscow from the provinces to get a higher education - he entered the capital's university to study as an engineer. He goes home for the holidays and finds himself in the middle of an armed robbery of a cash-in-transit vehicle. As a result, the innocent Nikita was sentenced to 15 years.
10 years pass, and he is released for good behavior. Nikita returns to his hometown, because all these years he dreamed of only one thing - to find out who framed him and made him spend 10 years in prison. Will he be able to find those who ruined his life years later? And will he take revenge on his offenders?
