Kostya and Oleg come to Moscow from Murmansk. Kostya dreams of becoming a professional music video director, Oleg is aiming high to a "respectable" capital citizen. They make friends and support each other, going, however, their own ways.

By chance, Oleg and Kostya meet Shepilov, a successful businessman. At a glance he sees Oleg is talented in talking people into doing what they do not need. Shepilov offers Oleg a job with a realty company. The trouble is that Kostya falls in love with Alina, Shepilov’s former fiancée, who he still hopes to get back to love him...

Shepilov cancels Alina’s performance that had to be the crucial one for her further career. However, Kostya makes a video for Alina that soon brings her a contract offer from London.

Now Alina has got to make up her mind for either love or career as the contract forces her to make a break with Kostya. Kostya in his turn gets to choose whether to go to London with Alina or to accept a job offer from a well-known producer and achieve what he dreamed of. Oleg as well must decide what is more important to him — friendship or his «respectable» status.

Oleg finds out the business that made him turn away from his friend is spattered with blood… Oleg is in danger and Kostya is the only one to help him out. But both Kostya and Alina themselves are already chased after as they might witness against Shepilov. So now Kostya does not only have to save himself and the girl her loves, but also his friend who betrayed him…
