A fabulous story about good and evil, friendship and love, deceit and justice, based on the Crimean Tatar folk legend about Hıdır Dede - a wise old man who could come to any house under the guise of a stranger. The uniting of the hearts of two romantic heroes is hindered by an greedy tax collector who works lawlessness on ordinary people. Their little brother and sister go to the aid of the lovers, who manage to meet the wizard. He, with the help of a just ruler, punishes evil and rewards those who are kind, respectful to elders and pure in heart.

In the summer of 1999, in one of the cities in southern Russia, a terrorist act took place - the explosion of a residential building. The investigation into this case is led by an FSB operative, Captain Andrei Vereshchagin, nicknamed Captain Hollywood.
