An ambitious professor of psychiatry, Viktor Meshchersky, conducts a dangerous psychological experiment in which, under false pretenses, he locks victims and their abusers in the basement, hiding his true goals.

Artyom Streletski, a therapist known for his non-conventional approach to solving patients' problems, has lost almost everything: his family, his friends, his practice, and the ability to trust the people around him. In a desperate attempt to escape from everything that hurts he moves away and settles on the outskirts of the country, in a small town filled with his sweet childhood memories. He starts a brand new career and finds new love but the past is catching up with him, and to regain the happiness Artyom has to face his troubles and stop running away from them once and for all.
Seventeen-year-old Artyom is invisible in the family and a rebel in the technical school. He has a best friend, Kostya, and they do all the provocations and tricks together. When the management of the technical school compiles an unofficial list of dangerous teenagers - "explosives", Kostya, by pure chance, falls into the first place, which makes him popular among other students. Kostya revels in interest in himself - and betrays his friend, convincing his classmates that he, Kostya, is the main and only inspirer of all their antics. Then Artyom decides to prove who the “number one bomber” is really here. But on his way, a girl, Kira, unexpectedly appears, who is able to influence his dangerous plan.
