Overview
Former border guard Sasha Dymov returns to his native village of Kordona after serving time in prison on false charges. There is nothing left of his previous life — his wife left for her best friend, it is impossible to return to law enforcement agencies. A faithful comrade Trofimych comes to the rescue — he takes Dymov under his wing and arranges an auto mechanic in his workshop. It would seem that there is no more peaceful occupation. But there is a border nearby, secret paths of smugglers, big money, weapons and criminals who dream of hiding from persecution behind the cordon… Only Sasha Dymov can stop this lawlessness. In addition to criminal showdowns, Sasha will have to find a way out of the love triangle. And it won't do without mysticism.
