A student of the journalism faculty, Danil, goes as a volunteer to the zone of his SMO (Special Military Operation), tired of the hypocrisy of the capital. He is from Sevastopol and knows a little more about the neighboring state than his friends. His anti-war-minded girlfriend Alice, realizing that she is expecting a child, decides to protect her young man from a fatal mistake and goes after him. Finding a loved one in the chaos of war is proving difficult.

Four friends travel to the Altai for a rafting trip on a mountain river. Cut off from civilization and face-to-face with nature at its wildest, the heroes are not able to relax but instead are forced to fight for survival. They ask for help from a group of seemingly ‘sportsmen-boaters’ they encounter on the river. But then the heroes realize that they have been taken hostage by criminals. All their weaknesses and faults are laid bare and their true selves are revealed.
