The plot of this adventurous film revolves around a bank check for $5 million. The tough mafiosi, the police, and even... three teenagers - the young Russian hero Ilya, the Kazakh computer prodigy Akezhan and the girl Sonya - are trying to get him at any cost. Akezhan needs an urgent, expensive operation, so the guys decided to undertake this dangerous and risky business.

Two Russian soldiers, one battle-seasoned and the other barely into his boots and uniform, are taken prisoner by an anxious Islamic father from a remote village hoping to trade them for his captured son.
