Operative Max Goryachev and policeman Igor Bezkhatchenko are another duo of partner cops who prove that the characters don't have to be alike to successfully investigate cases. But due to their radically different personalities and approaches to investigation, the characters often have quarrels with each other, and this leads to unpleasant incidents in their work.

Max is used to acting sharply and without hesitation, but on his own. After the sudden death of his wife, psychologists forbade him to go out on business alone. Max gets Igor Bezkhatchenko, a balanced provincial family man, as his partner. From the first minutes of their meeting, the heroes realize that they are in for a tough time: Max will have to endure instructions, and Igor will have to take risks all the time.
