Kornyev (Aleksandr Kuznetsov) is a young prosecutor who has received a secret message from a political prisoner seeking to disclose the abuse he has suffered. Moved by the man’s story, Kornyev begins the process of seeking justice, but soon discovers that the judicial system itself has become a tool of the state. How far will Kornyev go to expose the truth? And what awaits him in the end?
