Colonel Mikhail Loginov arrives to take command of a military base in a seaside town, bringing his wife Svetlana with him. Their arrival upsets the peaceful, stable existence of border detachment leader Aleksey Streltsov. Twenty years ago, the very same Svetlana left him without giving any reason. Now Aleksey has a family-his wife Vera and son Danila. But the old wounds inflicted by his first love start bleeding again. And soon, real blood is shed. Vera's father, the former base commander, is found dead, and his murder must not go unpunished.
