Canadian Canadian Paul Gordychak arrives in Ukraine as an instructor for the Ukrainian Sheriff program. The unexpected loss of a colleague forces Paul not only to stay after the contract is completed, but also to become the main precinct of the Carpathian town of Nagura.

The meticulous, honest Canadian, accustomed to obeying rules and laws, faces the realities of Ukrainian border life, where illegal deforestation, smuggling, illegal migration thrive, and criminals remain unpunished. In addition, Paul is hunted by a professional killer, and new teammate Stepan Fomin is not happy about the newly appointed sheriff.
