Moscou, 1902. Le célèbre metteur en scène Konstantin Stanislavsky, à la recherche d'inspiration pour mettre en scène une nouvelle pièce, décide de se familiariser avec la vie de la ville « du bas ».

Ensemble, ils se rendent chez le légendaire bandit Khitrovka et se retrouvent mêlés à l'enquête sur le meurtre...

The story is about Nikita Kryukov, a hockey player known in the recent past, who chose the path of a hockey agent as a continuation of his career. Still remaining a maximalist and believing that everything can be fair, Kryukov is trying to build his career in the agency business. Nikita helps and protects his clients in every possible way, solving the most unexpected, sometimes unrelated hockey issues. However, by helping others, Kryukov is left alone with the problems of his personal life, which are much more difficult to solve.
