action
In 1974 a serious incident occurred in a Russian military research facility under a lake . A small container with liquid chemical-biological warfare agents is damaged. The laboratory is contaminated, then evacuated and flooded to neutralize the poison. Some scientists die in the confusion, including the head of the secret experiments, who is shot by overcautious guards in front of his eight-year-old son Prochor.
In the present, the experienced and highly decorated naval officer Kirill Masur is assigned to accompany the attractive agent Olga Khmelnitskaya, a specialist in chemical and biological weapons, on a secret operation. The tough elite soldier, who works as an instructor for the notorious “Piranha” special unit, is supposed to travel with the beauty to Siberia in order to deactivate and destroy the secret research station at the bottom of a lake. General Glagolew urges everyone involved to maintain the utmost secrecy, as the area is to be ceded to China as soon as possible.
Disguised as a couple on vacation, the two finally travel the Russian-Chinese border area and destroy seven of the nine poison containers in the submarine military complex. However, their action in the Siberian no man's land does not go unnoticed. Kirill and Olga are captured by corrupt officials who do lucrative business with arms dealers. With the arrival of the blonde criminal Prochor, the survivor of the former tragedy, the two agents are finally released with six other prisoners. Prochor gives the eight freedmen a small head start before starting a hunt with his henchmen and a customer who wants to buy weapons on behalf of a terrorist group. The arms dealer kills all previously released prisoners he can get hold of. The escape group is gradually being decimated. At the same time, Kirill proves to be a serious opponent who exploits the impassable terrain of the taiga to kill the "hunters" on his part.
For Prochor, the arms business is gradually becoming a minor matter. He even kills an emissary from the “Red Islam” to confront the three remaining fugitives. Olga, Kirill and a stranger who simply calls himself "Winter" split up at some point. The two agents arrive in a provincial town where Olga is abducted. With the help of the shady stranger, who can later be revealed as a traitor, Kirill gets on the trail of Olga. The gifted elite fighter philosophically eliminates Prochor's henchmen before he is incapacitated. At first, Kirill is full of self-doubt because he could not save Olga, not knowing that she is in excellent health at this point. Driven by a desire for revenge, at the end of the film, Kirill starts a campaign of revenge against Prochor and a corrupt government official. The film ends with the death of Prochor and the passionate love affairs of Kirill and Olga.
