What if, one day, you make a mistake that changes your entire life, yours and that of your relatives? What are you prepared to do to protect them? Would you be prepared to take the consequences? That day, the wife of the police officer major Sergey Sobolev is about to give birth. Crazy with joy, he rushes to the maternity house, but hits a boy on a pedestrian crossing. The choice is not great: to go to prison or stay free. First, Sobolev finds a compromise with his conscience, yet this causes a series of deaths; when he decides to expiate his guilt, he has to oppose the system, and it’s too late... The events follow a natural chain of events and put many people before the choice: to cross the line or not, when morals, duty and conscience cost lives... Yours and that of your relatives. And the major is just an ordinary man.
