Five years... For five long and at the same time rapid years, three friends, who unexpectedly found themselves in Russia on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War, were preparing for the inevitable war. During this time, they violated the law more than once, not disdaining serious crimes, they put their lives on the line for only one goal - to turn the tide of history, to force it to change its intended course. But will they have enough strength? How well prepared were they? Will the old woman-story want to give in or will she roll over those who decided to contradict her? They have already done everything they could, and then, as they say, the war will show the plan.
