Overview

Ilya Goryunov served seven years in prison on false charges of drug distribution. Now he is released driven by only one desire — to take revenge on the major Peter, who planted drugs on him and ruined his life. Having come face to face with his abuser, Ilya commits an impulsive act and gets access to Peter's smartphone, and with it to the young man's life — his photos and videos, correspondence with his parents and girlfriend Nina, to strange, full of innuendos and threats negotiations with colleagues. For a while, Ilya becomes Peter for everyone — through text on the phone screen.
