St. Petersburg, Russia, today. Special agents Plakhov, Rogov, Dukalis, Solovets, and Larin are installing the skids for businessman Arkadi Bogolepov. They suspect that Bogolepov is involved in a murder and some other unresolved crimes. Bogolepov's office is under surveillance. But Bogolepov is making a stellar political career. He is buying the media, feeding the poor, supporting the seniors and, most importantly, he promises to wipe out the mafia, if he is elected to the City Hall. Special agents are stretched out. Their resources are inferior to the mafia's, and some people in the law enforcement are also corrupt. But the agents don't give up.
