Plot synopsis
Denis Orlov is a young and arrogant DJ in a nightclub in a large southern city. He has everything: talent, love, friends. He dreams of becoming a professional musician and of exchanging the dance floor for stadiums and concert halls. Denis’s life strives towards the future, with a promising set of surprises — but not always pleasant. In order to make quick money Denis agrees to deal drugs once, just once. But during this one deal Denis crosses the path of the regional criminal authority, Verner. Denis and his friends face a choice: to «working off their sins» for Verner, or an anonymous grave on the wasteland behind the city…
