In a small town beyond the Ural Mountains lived Rinat Gildeyev, a man with a clear conscience. He served in the army, then returned to civilian life, got a job as a driver, and married a beautiful woman. However, his calm existence was cut short when, while intoxicated, he struck four women with his truck. Now the townspeople accuse him and demand punishment.
Moscow lawyer Olga Shemetova usually doesn’t take cases to defend murderers. But after studying the situation with Gildeyev, she comes to the conclusion that he might have been a victim of circumstances rather than a criminal.
To establish the truth, Shemetova will have to face the discontent of local residents and opposition from the authorities—but she isn’t afraid of trials. After all, her job is to defend the innocent and expose the true culprits.
