The everyday life of the brave spacemen, compared to the advertising picture, is much more prosaic, harsher and... more heroic. A deep space raid is a test of strength for everyone. And in the crew of the starship Monica, under the control of the true star wolf Captain Red Gardon, there are no ordinary personalities - and they are all just now beginning to become a real team, because if they don’t work together, they simply will not survive. A mysterious passenger from Long-Range Reconnaissance ends up on board their starship and a “dead” yacht picked up in space, and with them a whole tangle of secrets and problems. These secrets lead to big money (which Gardon needs from the nose) and... gravitational collapse in the sector of the Galaxy, threatening the death of planets and millions of human victims. The crew of "Monica", despite all their discord, undertakes to unravel this tangle to the end.
