Moscow investigator Victoria is sent to the city of Yaroslavl after a suspicious murder. There, she reunites with her ex-lover Sergei, whose wife has gone missing, complicating the investigation.

"Victoria Belyaeva is the only investigator in the department without a family. That's why all the business trips are allocated to her. This time, a Moscow colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was killed in Yaroslavl under suspicious circumstances. Victoria doesn't only have to help her local colleagues find the killer, but at the same time she has to try to avoid creating publicity about the situation. The first person she meets in Yaroslavl is her former lover, Sergei Limanov. He is looking for his missing wife - an actress who was responsible for his separation from Victoria. "
