В небольшом провинциальном городке происходит череда преступлений. Убийства совершаются по одному сценарию: женщины исчезают во время возвращения с вечеринок, находясь в состоянии алкогольного опьянения. Из этого появляется предположение, что в городе орудует маньяк. Чтобы разобраться в происходящем и найти серийного убийцу, в город приезжает следователь Генпрокуратуры Николай Горобец: он уже ловил маньяков, и кому, как не ему, заниматься этим делом. Однако местному прокурору Садовскому не до серийных убийств: в это время в городе идёт очередной передел собственности и власти, и ему хотелось бы избежать вмешательства Москвы. Но Садовский вынужден оказывать содействие в поисках убийцы, и, если до этого он торопил расследование, то сейчас быстрый успех столичного следователя не в его интересах; именно поэтому в команду Горобца определяют молодого следователя Светлану Мирошникову и ещё совсем «зелёного» оперативника Михаила Воробьёва.
