Double
As in a classic detective action movie, this story begins with a kidnapping. A criminal plan came to the mind of a hired dance teacher - to kidnap his pupil Tim for a considerable ransom. However, he himself is not capable of such risky actions, so he is forced to look for perpetrators. And he found them: Stas with PTSD and a soft-spoken Victor who had just been kicked out of the house by his wife. At first, everything went pretty smoothly. Until the kidnappers learned that the boy was in no hurry to return to his "golden cage". And that he has no friends other than his kidnappers.
