In the small town of Gorovets in the Pskov region, located 30 km from the border with Latvia, an emergency occurred - half of the local police department's management was arrested. And this happened because of the largest legal business in the city - a cement plant: it was flourishing, turnover was growing, thus the enterprise became a tasty morsel for everyone, and the fight for it reached the federal level. As a result, Moscow operatives have to restore order in the city and head the local police department: Major Sergey Malakhov becomes the head of the department, and captains Vadim Gruzdev and Ivan Shadrin head the criminal investigation department.
Victoria, a former operative, is getting used to a normal life with her beloved husband, a psychologist. But after being attacked by a criminal in the service, she cannot have children. The couple decide to take six-year-old Dasha, whose parents died in a fire, to their place for the weekend. And then strange events begin to happen in their country house. The girl behaves secretly and sometimes aggressively, draws scary pictures and spoils toys. In her drawings, Vika guesses the victims of that same criminal, now she is absolutely sure: the villain is alive, and he is somewhere nearby.
