The film is based on the second book from the bestselling Erast Fandorin series of novels written by the Russian author Boris Akunin. The film takes place in 1877 during the Russian-Turkish war. Erast Fandorin has just escaped from Turkish prison and is trying to get on the Russian side as soon as possible to give important information about the upcoming attack of the enemy. On his way he meets Varvara Suvorova, a young lady who is going to see her fiancée. A Turk starts following Fandorin and kills everyone who could even be mistaken for him, including Suvorova. Paranoid Fandorin believes that it is his enemy from the Turkish prison who has organized this chase. But is it all that simple?
