The forces of the “world behind the scenes” are striving to win the 2008 presidential elections in Russia and install their representative in the place of the President. They plan to seize power with the help of the miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Sophia, kept in the Vatican. But the famous antiquarian, risking his life, proves that this icon is fake - and he is found murdered in his own home. It becomes known that the original icon never left Russia. Many politicians, businessmen, bandits are trying to find it in order to use it for their own selfish purposes. Konstantin Rokotov and his teacher Savely Govorkov - Besheny - must find and protect the miraculous icon - the defender of Russia.
