Tajikistan, the years of the mid-1990s, a border post. The service of the Russian border guards is calm and measured. They conscientiously service the state, which has a few days left to exist. But they try not to think about it; even the flag is not changed without special instructions. Here, on the sun-warmed and sheltered mountains from the wind, a quiet post formed its order, which is honored by everyone - from new recruits and mature officers to the shepherd Chara who is the favorite of the head of the post, Captain Pankov.
One day the chopper brought not only bags with provisions, but also a group of scouts under the leadership of Bobrovsky, for whose head in the mountains promised untold riches. This day was a turning point for the quiet post. Three days later, an avalanche of Mujahideen will come down from the mountains, which will bring pain, blood and fear.
