Alexey wakes up poisoned in a hotel room beside the body of a young woman he has never met. As he pieces together the events that led him there, fragments of his memory begin to return, and he realizes he has become a pawn in a far more dangerous game.

The protagonist Bondarev must defeat his villain again. However, this time the special services agent does not want to save the world, because he does not know what role he plays in his life.

As a result of another outrage by fans of the England national team, which escalated into multi-day clashes, the leadership of European football disqualifies the English from the European Football Cup. Instead, the Russian team enters the final stage. The Russian Football Federation has only two weeks to assemble a team. Head coach Sorokin and his assistant Mikhalych invite to the team the football players who have today become "downed pilots": forwards Matveev and Sanaev are under investigation for a fight, defender Bushagov, after a loud scandal, is divorcing his wife, who demands huge alimony, young forward Kizyakov because of of his character sits on a bench and so on. They all lost the opportunity to play, earn big money, be idols and real stars. But Sorokin's plan - to give them a chance to return to their former life - does not work: the new team cannot work together, each player pursues his own goals, and therefore they do not form a team.
