Summer, St. Petersburg of the XXI century. Student Rodion Raskolnikov is exhausted by lack of money, unemployment and thoughts about the meaninglessness of his existence. But the idea is growing in his mind that some people "have the right" to do the most vile acts if they make great discoveries and move the world forward. To test the theory on himself, he kills an old woman microcreditor. Investigator Porfiry Petrovich is on the trail of Raskolnikov, who wants to extract a sincere confession from him.
1986. Teenagers are killed one by one in the area of the government dachas on Rublevskoye Shosse. Intelligent investigator Valery Kozyrev, his audacious partner from Rostov Evgeny Bokov and very young investigator Natalia Dobrovolskaya begin the investigation, not even knowing how much it will change the fate of each of them. The only witness capable of identifying the maniac - schoolboy Igor, whose parents are not at all happy about his son's contact with the police.
