Maxim Kuznetsov, a journalism student and an adherent of investigative journalism, is interested in questions whose answers are not so easy to obtain. Having assembled a team of student friends, programmer Stesha and operator Dani, Maxim intends to uncover the mystery and provide answers in his course work. During the investigation, students conduct opinion polls and experiments, tear away the veils from the past, encounter shocking conclusions and are persecuted - after all, it is completely unprofitable for someone to let the truth come out.
