After leaving the authorities, Captain Krasnov opens his own detective agency. And the first large client is the wife of a very prominent person in business circles, the beautiful Anna Frain, who suffers from partial memory loss. Anna turns to Krasnov with a non-standard request — to film her life on a video camera and show the footage the next day, which, according to her doctor, will help restore her memory. In this case, it is necessary to observe all confidentiality measures. By agreeing to take on this business, Krasnov falls into a masterfully placed trap.
