А gloomy and unsociable Trofim Rusanov, senior fishing inspector, lives in the forgotten taiga village. He got used to the fact that each day is filled with routine and one day is like another one.

But once, during his usual round through the woods, Trofim faces a shocking discovery. In the abandoned forest house he finds a baby. For several days he wanders around the severe uninhabited taiga, fighting both for his life and the life of a little child. Finally, Trofim finds the way home, but his attempts to save the girl is not a success.

From this very moment Trofim loses his peace of mind. Now, only the revenge becomes the purpose of his existence. It takes him a superhuman effort to find the baby’s mother. But this long quest leads him to another, completely different find.
