Overview

1984, a small town near Vitebsk. Criminals who have robbed a local store are hiding from the scene in a truck. A traffic police car is chasing them. Soon the company car disappears. The search for the criminals and the traffic police officer begins, but instead of them, the corpse of a girl is found in the forest. The case is entrusted to local police officer Mikhail Shakhnovich, and a specialist from Minsk, Leonid Ipatiev, is sent to help him. He quickly realizes that Vitebsk colleagues are not particularly zealous in their work: the system is based on bribes and fabricated cases. And while Shakhnovich arrests the first ones who come across, the bodies of women continue to be found in the region.
