Presumption of innocence

In the center of the plot is the lawyer Avrutin, cynical, rich, with a good sense of humor, who loves to shock and provoke. He takes on the most hopeless cases and always wins. The patience of the local investigating authorities ends when the lawyer releases the killer of the policeman from the courtroom. The head of the investigation department instructs the investigator Glebov to collect dirt on the lawyer and discredit him. In this Glebov agrees to help his beloved, scandalous journalist of crime news Vernitskaya. Under the pretext of filming a report about Avrutin, she infiltrates his inner circle and secretly conducts a journalistic investigation.
