1988 god, kanun vyvoda sovetskikh voĭsk iz Afganistana. Komandovanie 108-ĭ motostrelkovoĭ divizii planiruet otkhod cherez pereval Salang, podkontrolʹnyĭ gruppirovke modzhakhedov Inzhenera Khoshema. Razvedka pytaetsi͡a dogovoritʹsi͡a o peremirii s dushmanami, no delo oslozhni͡aetsi͡a tem, chto v plen k Khoshemu popadaet sovetskiĭ voennyĭ pilot. Nachinaetsi͡a slozhnai͡a igra, v kotoroĭ perepletai͡utsi͡a protivopolozhnye interesy mnozhestva samykh raznykh li͡udeĭ: shtabistov, islamistov, spet͡snaza, razvedki, chinovnikov iz afganskogo pravitelʹstva, sotrudnikov sovetskikh spet͡ssluzhb, tadzhikov i pushtunov. A v samom t͡sentre ėtogo vodovorota okazyvai͡utsi͡a soldaty razvedroty, dli͡a kotorykh vazhnee li͡ubykh politicheskikh soobrazheniĭ ostaetsi͡a pravilo - ne brosatʹ svoikh.

1988, the eve of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Command of the 108th motorized rifle division is planning a retreat through the Salang pass, controlled by the group of Mujahideen Engineer Josema. Intelligence is trying to negotiate a truce with the dushmans, but the matter is complicated by the fact that a Soviet military pilot is captured by Hoshem. A complex game begins in which the opposing interests of many different people are intertwined: staffers, Islamists, special forces, intelligence, officials from the Afghan government, employees of the Soviet special services, Tajiks and Pashtuns. And in the center of this maelstrom are soldiers intelligence, for which more important than any political considerations is the rule - not to leave their own.
