Igor Sokolovsky is the son of a very rich and high ranking Russian oligarch. He has received a legal education but is not in a hurry to find work for himself. Igor's parents provide for him everything and he spends all his time partying in nightclubs. While defending a friend, he gets into a fight with two policemen. His father, Vladimir Sokolovsky, uses his connections to make sure that the incident is quickly forgotten. Afterwards he deprives his son of everything and sends him to work at the very same police station with on-the-job training under the supervision of Lieutenant-Colonel Pryanikov.
