In the regional center Kuznetskiy, the mayor was murdered in his own office. The killer is Dimur Kavsadze, an associate of the Kuznetsky administration in commercial development. A flurry of public disquiet descends on the city. Alexander Danilin — an unspoken curator, an intermediary between business and the authorities, is included in the usual work to eliminate trouble and normalize the life of Kuznetsky.
