Varyag is one of the coolest authorities, the treasurer of the common fund, and now also the overseer of Russia. But a prison is a prison, whether in the States or in Russia. Here any prisoner can stick a knife in your back or strangle you at night. Moreover, there is a tasty morsel at stake - two large factories around which there is a fight. And Varyag is a key figure here. Only his bestial sense of danger and considerable prison experience save him from the Americans, from his own thugs, and from those who direct them. But life is not the main thing for a thief in law. The main thing is honor. And here you can’t break the Varyag - he will withstand everything: an icy punishment cell, merciless fights, provocations of guards, but will not lose the thief’s honor. This is the only way he will win freedom. And then we'll see who wins...
