The Series lifts the veil on the day-to-day life of the Investigative Committee—behind dry reports and protocols, intense passions run high. One department brings together people who can hardly be called exemplary: some constantly find themselves in absurd predicaments, while others have long accepted their reputation as losers. Their relationships are far from idyllic—arguments, mutual reproaches, and petty grievances repeatedly flare up within the cramped office walls. But as soon as a new case lands on the desk, all quarrels fade into the background. Their thirst for truth and devotion to their profession prove stronger than personal disagreements. Step by step, uncovering one grim secret after another from the victim’s past, the heroes of «The Bench» draw ever closer to solving the mystery.
