Would-be PR man, ladies' man and adventurer Misha Vorobyov is on the verge of another zigzag of fate that does not promise him anything good. They were fired from a solid company, there is no money, and the prospects are more than vague. But Misha does not have time to get used to the sad status of a loser: fate once again presents an unexpected surprise in the form of a rather unusual offer from a former boss.
