Plot

Investigator Seifi Ganiev runs the case of an illegal mercery shop's head Murad Abiyev, who confessed to embezzlement of one million roubles from public funds.

Abiyev is also accused of the murder of an underage girl that occurred in Riga shortly after Abiyev saw her. He denies his guilt, but does not name the perpetrators though he knows them, even though he is facing the death penalty.

The investigator understands that some high-ranking officials stand behind Abiyev, but he has no proof.

Ganiev seeks to obtain from the prisoner the whole truth to bring the criminals to justice.
