The most reliable partner is a former classmate. This is what aspiring businessman Sergei Savelyev thought when he bought a dissertation from his former classmate Vitka Chemodanov. Why does a businessman need a dissertation? Yes, so that in the eyes of his future father-in-law, a venerable professor, he would look more presentable. But the most attractive thing about this deal was that Chemodanov gave away his scientific work for just three bottles of beer! Vitka didn’t bargain because he gave up science a long time ago and drank himself to death: for him, drinking became the main value. Savelyev was already preparing to try on the academic degree of Candidate of Sciences, when it suddenly became clear that the dissertation was missing a mere trifle - a few pages with conclusions. But is this a serious problem? Vitka Chemodanov will write! He'll definitely write for a box of vodka. Well, if not for a box, then for two... Or three... But the behavior of his former classmate suddenly begins to change radically: Suitcase puts forward such conditions to Savelyev that the young businessman understands with horror: the game is all-in and his life is at stake...
