Kairat gets a long sentence for embezzling a large amount of public money. He has been in prison for two years. During the time spent behind bars, he has acquired new connections and gained a decent authority, but Kairat's "comfort zone" collapses when an antagonist comes to him at one of the meetings in the person of a civil servant who offers him to shorten the term in return for a service.
After his release from prison, Kairat immediately rushes to find a way to save his sick mother. The doctors' diagnosis turns out to be ruthless: in order to save his mother's life, he needs to get expensive medical equipment from China and medicines worth a million dollars.
