Thanks to his approach, perseverance and dedication, the number of rescued patients is growing, but it turns out that not everyone is happy about it. During one of the operations, the surgeon saves the patient's life, but the next day she is taken to the regional hospital under a far-fetched pretext, and the girl dies on the way. Studying her medical record, Mikhailov comes to the conclusion that the death of his ward is not accidental, and begins his investigation.
