Five years ago, he and his colleagues German Latnikov, Leonid Dorozhkin and Nikita Shatalin served in the criminal investigation department of Severoneftyansk under the command of David Egizaryan. All four were "asked" to leave the service after an incident in which a large sum of money, confiscated as material evidence, disappeared from the department's safe and was not transferred for safekeeping in time. Thus, Egizaryan's department was left completely naked, and, assuming that the city could soon be closed for quarantine and would have to face an increase in crime, he decides to put his old department back together. However, it quickly becomes clear that he has nothing to offer the former operatives except for his vigilante IDs.
