Judge Irina Polyakova is entrusted with a simple but high-profile case: a well-known public figure Smulsky inadvertently killed a fan who was pursuing him. He tried to save the girl, and when it failed, he turned himself in. The judge is inclined to impose the mildest punishment, because the girl intimidated Smulsky's family, sent bandits to his wife and daughter… But Irina's faithful assistant Hortensia Andreevna sees the second bottom in this case, and Irina is used to trust the intuition of the old teacher.
