Mikhail Romanov is a judge in the district court of a seaside town. Romanov is known for his integrity and incorruptibility: the law and justice are above all else for him. One day, he finds out that his son, Anton, hit a motorcyclist with his car and fled the scene of the crime. At first, Romanov decides to take his son to the police: he must confess and face punishment. But it soon turns out that the hit motorcyclist is the son of one of the city’s crime bosses, whom he himself sent to prison a year ago. Therefore, admitting to the accident would mean condemning Anton to certain death.
