St. Petersburg authority Scar turned out to be an insidious lawless man - he turns over Varyag, who is watching Russia, to the cops in order to take his place. But Varyag is not a fool - eating gruel in the zone is not part of his plans. He flees from the colony and prepares reprisals against the “snapped” thief. Varyag is looking for Scar, the head of the zone, Lieutenant Colonel Bespaly, follows Varyag’s trail and invites Scar to join forces in dealing with the common enemy. When the simple-minded old man Father Plato and his daughter, who hid the fugitive observer of Russia, die at the hands of Bespaliy, the hunt for the Varyag develops into the rank of merciless revenge. And when his wife and son are taken hostage by Scar, this is already a war, bloody and cruel, from which few will be able to come out alive...
