Moscow. December 1952. MGB Major Ivan Shipov prepares to arrest a group of romantic students dreaming of a new revolution. The operation is simple, routine. But when the operatives burst into the apartment, they are met with a nightmare: five young idealists are dead. Each has a kill shot mark on his head. Professional work.
Who cleared out the suspects before the authorities? Shipov finds evidence: the student leader was tortured, burned with cigarettes, and stabbed. The killers were interested in an old book by Samuil Polesky, "Union of Justice 16."
Their last hope lies in an agent embedded in the student group. Shipov rushes to save him, but is too late. The dying agent manages to whisper, "I gave the book..." and dies. To whom did he give it? Why? And what is in this book that makes people kill without question?
One by one, everyone who came into contact with the mysterious publication perishes. Shipov realizes that a well-armed, professionally trained, and ruthless gang is operating in Moscow. He also realizes that he is already being followed...
Is it possible to find the truth when all the witnesses are dead? And, most importantly, is it possible to survive when the hunter becomes the hunted?
