A young guy Kesha returns to the village after a long absence. His father and Tim's younger brother are waiting for him. Kesha is twenty—seven. He has a deadline behind him. He's back and just wants to live — find some kind of job, save up some money, and then decide what to do next. The youngest Tim is only seventeen. He has a school behind him, he dreams of going to college — on a "budget". And everything seems to be going according to plan. Tim gets high scores at the entrance, Kesha gets a job in a gold mining artel. But very quickly Kesha is "thrown" by prospectors, and he remains without a job and a future and decides to take revenge. He steals the gold and goes on the run. But not alone, but together with his younger brother.
