The four partners who created the company of noble fraudsters “Adventurers” solve any problems (with bosses, criminals, husbands, wives, unscrupulous businessmen) by carrying out “deceptive operations” – pretending, playing, playing, deceiving the abusers of their clients.
In their work, they use a scientific approach and modern technology, their knowledge of psychology, sociology, law, the art of reincarnation and theatrical skill. They collect information about the client and his problem, analyze it from all sides and find an extraordinary solution. They are not altruists, they do not aim to change the world. They're just helping people solve their "little intractable problems."
For the services of Adventurers, the client pays double the cost of the operation and undertakes to participate in their further operations. Therefore, clients from one series later appear in other series as assistants of the "Adventurers". The philosophy of the team is that sometimes what is legal is unfair. And what is fair is sometimes illegal.” Each of the four has broken the law more than once, but it is always done for the sake of higher justice. close
