Spring 1989. At this time began the incredible story of one of the last bandits of the USSR. A family, including a 4-month-old infant, is murdered in the Rostov region. Evidence leads detectives to Leningrad, where a series of brutal robberies, including a murder, take place. Surviving witnesses describe the bandit leader as a tall, elegantly dressed man in an expensive suit with an imported red tie. But the main feature: an unusual cut of the eyes. Why the criminal will be sought among the capital's journalists?
