All developed countries in the world depend on oil. But sooner or later oil will run out everywhere, and then what? Meanwhile, in a small Ural city, a group of provincial geniuses invented a completely new type of fuel - “pure power”. The ubiquitous Americans seized on the idea of “alternative energy” and sent an agent to Russia. The goal of the American intelligence services is not only to seize a sensational discovery, but also to enter into the struggle for political influence in Russia on the eve of the presidential elections. FSB officer Major Elagin finds himself at the center of a big behind-the-scenes game between Russia and the United States. It is he who, having arrived in the Urals with a special task, becomes the owner of information that he should not have known. And now the major is a living bomb. There is only one way to neutralize it - kill it.
