"A cyclus of detective films about the cultural scientist Svetlana Somova, who becomes a detective and takes up the struggle against a powerful secret organization. Film one: Svetlana, a culturologist, comes to a private reception at the Petrovsky Travel Palace with her husband, Professor Dremov, and this evening turns out to be fatal for her. She not only learns that her beloved husband has been cheating on her for a long time, but also finds the corpse of ... Napoleon. Of course, he is not a real emperor - just an animator in a Bonaparte costume - but he was killed quite realistically. And worst of all, Svetlana becomes the main suspect in the crime. Misfortune never comes alone: she faces a divorce and a battle for a child, she loses her job and tries to find new housing, while still trying to prove her innocence to the investigator. Thanks to her extensive knowledge, intelligence and observation, Svetlana will be able to unravel a complex crime, in the center of which is the mysterious Black Orlov. And the investigator Vadim will understand that he cannot find a better partner."

The film takes place in the summer of 2000. A southern city is shaken by a series of mysterious murders. It would seem that the dead are not connected with each other. The motives for the crimes are not clear. Elderly investigator Akinfiev (Valery Barinov) carefully examines all possible versions: death for debts, revenge, ritual murders... His younger colleague Rybakov (Aleksey Gorbunov) believes that crime must be fought by all available means, even breaking the law. This quality often pushes the investigators among themselves. But both of them have not yet been able to get on the trail of the elusive killer. Meanwhile, not only the prosecutor's office is concerned about the murders: the events have affected the official and shadow authorities of the city.
