The series is based on the detective stories by Friedrich Neznansky, centered around the character of detective Turetsky. He works in the Russian Prosecutor General's Office. With his wide-brimmed hat, suave demeanor, masculine charm, and detective talent, he has everything you would expect. However, the gentlemanly set of a "Western" detective does not prevent the main character from getting caught up in the quagmire of Russian roads, which usually lead to the offices of officials. Turetsky fights against corrupt Russia, always desiring one thing - to restore justice.
