After the tragic death of his close friend, crime boss Alexey Fomin, Pavel Semyonov returns to police service and again takes the post of head of the criminal investigation department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Central District. His immediate superior becomes Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Mikhaylov, who has been tasked with restoring order not only in the Directorate itself, but also in the streets of the district, where criminal groups cannot divide their spheres of influence. At the same time, retired police colonel Evgeny Arsenyev is trying to oust his long-time enemy General Lyubimov from his post. And Semyonov's ex-wife Yulya unexpectedly becomes the owner of a multi-million inheritance that Alexey Fomin bequeathed to her. When a series of mysterious murders occurs in the city, the detectives put forward the theory that a professional hitman known as the Architect, whom everyone believed dead, has returned to the city and is personally eliminating criminals who managed to evade investigation and trial. To his horror, Andrey Mikhaylov begins to suspect that Semyonov may have the most direct connection to these murders. Mikhaylov faces a difficult choice: to disregard his friendship with Semyonov and let his colleagues arrest him, or to allow Pavel to continue administering justice by unlawful methods.
