Perestroika has already stepped from the Kremlin stands onto the streets of cities and towns. The Soviet Union is dying before our eyes, and along with the premonition of change, freedom of speech, music and prices, freedom from conscience appears, bordering on lawlessness. While parents fight for survival, children abandoned by everyone flock into street flocks and "fight for the asphalt." They literally fight to control everything that stands on their land or moves on it. In the midst of general poverty, there are clear rules of life, support and a boy's word, which is stronger than an oath. But friendship and concepts of justice are increasingly mixed with violence and crime.

Three boxers from Chelyabinsk decide to earn extra money at the Moscow tournament on fights without rules before flying to the World Championship. After learning about the violation of the sports regime, the head coach excludes them from the national team. The guys are eating sadly in a restaurant, discussing the inglorious homecoming. In the same institution, a business dinner of a well-known Moscow lawyer is held, with the protection of which, through no fault of the guys, a conflict ensues. Boxers demonstrate their skills and naturally end up in the police. They face imprisonment. However, the lawyer offers a deal: become his bodyguards or go to jail. The brave trio decides to change their tracksuits to classic ones.
