Metropolitan stylist Alexei Bestuzhev is not averse to having an affair with one of his clients, a married woman. But this time the "cuckold" turned out to be a former bandit, known in the dashing 90s under the nickname Kisten, and now the banker Igor Nikolaevich Kistenev. Alex will have to experience the wrath of Kisten, but instead of paying with his life for his adultery, the stylist falls into the Soviet past, in the very heyday of the so-called "era of stagnation." However, Kistenev is also there. Each of them is now forced to adapt to new realities, based on their talents. But will Alexey be able not only to adapt, but also to influence the future? The choice is his.
