The only restriction is that the task should not be life-threatening or result in commiting a crime. The outer world as well as the friends' inner lives change as the weeks go by. Instead of looking for high-level, magnificent entertainment, the friends develop a taste for fantastic attractions – and ultimately rediscover joy in life. close

He made plans for a happy life, but fate prepared him a real trap. After he was forced to stand up for the honor of his girlfriend, the hero ended up in prison, where he faced cruel prison laws. However, "life by concepts" did not break him, rather, on the contrary, tempered his character, making him much stronger than he was before.
Once free, and hoping to get his fate back on track, he again faced a choice, and this time his friend’s life was at stake.
Criminal environment breaks people and human destinies, reveals the true face of its external attractiveness, teaches to leave aside morality and live in accordance with the laws adopted in it, reminds us of the film “Trap”. And those who try to break free from its tenacious shackles, who strive not to betray themselves and their principles, end up paying an incredibly high price, losing loved ones and suffering deprivation. What awaits the main character, who finds himself, against his will, in the web of crime, dangerous intrigue, lies, deception and betrayal? Will he be able to escape the trap and what price will the cruel underworld demand?
