A successful screenwriter, Pyotr Reshetnikov, was well known in the world of the Russian film industry. But there was only one facet of his talent on display. Only a narrow circle of insiders knew that Reshetnikov owned an agency that invented and created alibis for wrongdoer spouses—embezzling businessmen and scandalized politicians. He was accustomed to the role of manipulator, and without exaggeration, the master of fates. He never imagined that one day he himself would become a puppet in the hands of truly frightening people—people who were genuinely terrible.
And it all began when his own beloved wife came to the agency for an alibi. A literary remake of the melodramatic TV series of Channel One “Alibi.” The plot will delight lovers of adventurous stories. In the series, the leading roles are played by Evgeny Stytskin (“Gogol. The Beginning,” “Maximum Impact,” “Trotsky”), Olga Sutulova (“Snow and Ash,” “Leningrad,” “Born to Be a Star”), and Varvara Borodina (“Youth”).
