Plot synopsis: "Don't give up the bag and the prison," says a well–known proverb. And indeed, no one is immune from prison, including the innocent.

The main character of our story is Trofim Petrovich Streltsov, the state Adviser of Justice of the 3rd class, a former employee of the prosecutor's office.
