After the death of his father, Alexey and his mother go to an island on the Volga to set up a camp. Alexey does not like this place; he has stopped coming here since his youth. While digging up a cache of things, he becomes immersed in memories that prompt him to talk with his mother.

Alexey Sukharev is a police captain. Now he and his friend Zhenya are trying to apprehend Zverev, the leader of a major drug trafficking ring. The gangster wants to negotiate with Sukharev, but for Alexey, his work is a matter of honor, not profit. The intractable policeman ends up behind bars, accused of a murder he didn't commit. His wife and son remain free, and they will wait for him no matter what. But the gangsters want to deprive Sukharev not only of his freedom, but also of the most important thing in life - a family.
