Following one game, Alexey is accused of robbing a bank. What’s more, someone is out to kill him, and his girlfriend doesn’t believe him when he professes his innocence. With the odds stacked against him, Alexey has no choice but to identify and defeat his enemy single-handedly, using just his professional abilities and innate potential. As he does so, Alexey learns first hand that some things are far more important than running the world.

They couldn’t be any more different from one another, and their lives should never have crossed paths. Phil is a former pop star of the nineties, a one-hit wonder. Now, he works as a DJ, envies the famous Russian singer Oleg Gazmanov, and shies away from any kind of responsibility. Peter is a doctor, a dry-as-dust, pedantic careerist. He commits his daily agenda to a voice recorder, is terrified of asking a girl out on a date, and has never even heard of Gazmanov.
After Peter delivers the electric shock which restarts Phil’s heart, they develop a vicarious connection, sharing each other's feelings and sensations. When one of them is hurt, the other winces in pain; when one is scared, the other feels frightened too. If one laughs, the other bursts into uncontrollable laughter. Phil’s fun-filled life fraught with rollercoaster emotions soon turns Peter’s systematic, measured existence upside down. But a more serious problem arises when, soon after Peter, Phil also falls in love with Peter’s girlfriend.
