Plot
The series centers on Rodion Meglin (Konstantin Khabensky), a special detective of the Russian police who also is essentially a sanctioned vigilante, hunting down the criminally insane ("maniacs" in Russian) who slip through the cracks of an ill-suited justice and police system. He used to work alone without revealing the secrets of his method. A graduate of the law faculty Esenya Steklova (Paulina Andreeva) receives a referral to the department of the Investigative Committee, in which Meglin serves, and becomes his trainee. The girl has personal motives for working with the famous investigator - Esenya's mother was killed under mysterious circumstances, and her father hides important details of what happened, but she leaves no hope of reaching the trail of the murderer. Working with Meglin becomes a serious test for Esenya.
