Cities and regional centers are flooded with gangs of traitors and remnants of fascists committing robberies and armed attacks on government facilities. Colonel Galchenko is faced with a complex task – to lead a fictitious gang of former penal soldiers and criminals to track down the offenders. Galchenko is well known in the criminal world by the nickname “Frant” and enjoys authority among thieves and bandits. But he is not yet aware that his true enemy is much more powerful and insidious than it seems at first glance...
