Sasha and Tanya have graduated and moved out of the dormitory. They now live with their son Alyosha in their own two-room apartment in the Moscow suburb of Yuzhnoe Butovo. And, boy, are their neighbors ever weird.

Victor Gromov, once a legend of Moscow’s criminal underworld known under the nickname “Butcher”, has since retired and now spends his days enjoying life on his farm. One day, Victor’s former “colleagues” show up and tell him that he must store the mafia’s common fund in his offshore bank account. Victor has no choice but to help them. Several months later, on the day when he is supposed to give the money back, Victor gets hit on the head by a falling billboard. As a result, he forgets the password to his bank account. Fleeing for his life from his former cronies, Victor decides to hide in a freight train’s boxcar but ends up getting locked inside. The train departs, and several days later he finds himself thousands of kilometers away from Moscow, in a small northern town called Polyarny, which, as it turns out, is not so easy to get out of...

Sasha Zaitsev is a Moscow student. He is like millions of his peers, but also is very different from those around him. On the one hand, Sasha has glasses. And he also has the appearance of a nerd and unrequited love. On the other hand, Sasha has a split personality. No, he is not talking to himself in a foil cap. Just if Sasha is beaten on the head, he “turns” into Fedor. Fedor, unlike Sasha, knows what to do with his desires - immediately execute! Want to cheat neighbor? Clamp your classmate at the party? Grab a jeep? Few people decide on this, but Fedor can do anything.

Meanwhile, the younger Popov falls in love with a nurse who has arrived from the city and jeopardizes the entire village plan.
