Synopsis
Season 1
In 1986, the bodies of brutally murdered teenagers are found in a forest belt near the Rublyovskoye Highway in Moscow. A team consisting of experienced investigators—Valery Kozyrev from Moscow and Evgeny Bokov from Rostov-on-Don—and young investigator Natalya Dobrovolskaya, investigate a series of murders that will change their lives forever. They are assisted by the only witness, a schoolboy named Igor.
Season 2
A child goes missing in a resort town in southern Russia. His mother delivers a note to Evgeny Bokov asking for help with the investigation. It soon becomes clear that kidnapping is only the beginning: a psychopathic killer is operating in the city, sophisticatedly murdering young women.
