After a long absence, a young man named Kesha returns to the village. His father and younger brother Tima are waiting for him. Kesha is twenty-seven. He has served time in prison. Now he has returned and just wants to live — find a job, save some money, and then decide what to do next. His younger brother Tima is only seventeen. He has finished school and dreams of entering university on a scholarship. And it seems that everything is going according to plan. Tima scores high on his entrance exams, and Kesha gets a job at a gold mining cooperative. But very quickly, Kesha is cheated by the gold miners, leaving him without a job or a future. He decides to take revenge. He steals gold and goes on the run — but not alone, with his younger brother by his side.
