Imagine the story of a man who achieved everything in life, only to lose absolutely everything in an instant. This is exactly what happens to the main character of the Series—Vasily Baranov, a once-influential billionaire. After thirty years away, he returns to his hometown of Semibolotsk to receive an honorary title, but instead of accolades, he learns that he has been sanctioned and has lost his entire fortune. Left penniless, Vasily tries to find support from his relatives, but is met with a cold reception. His father refuses to speak to him, the former love he once adored is now married to the local mayor, and his recently discovered daughter has no desire to build a relationship with him. The only person to lend a helping hand is Fedya, an ordinary taxi driver, although even his wife is against his friendship with the disgraced oligarch.
