Max is a young and nimble provincial, not particularly burdened by morals and principles, energetically making a successful career in Moscow. He works in a recruitment agency, and his specialization is to fire top managers, help squeeze out shares in companies, and similar routine business issues. Max’s next task is to get rid of Georgy, the chief programmer of a large IT company. At first glance, work for a couple of days, because who is Gregory? A bearded boy under 40, the embodiment of simplicity and harmlessness. But it turns out that this is a unique case, and it is incredibly difficult to fire Gregory. Especially considering what a charming half-sister he has. Max has to go through a lot of funny, touching and dangerous trials that will help him understand that there are other values in life besides career, money and real estate.

The late 1990s. Best friends Misha and Taya dream of escaping the small coastal town where adults have long since decided what their future should be. The brash Misha falls in love with a new teacher, while the quiet Taya hides the fact that her parents are planning to marry her off to a foreigner to save the family. Their friendship, through betrayal and pain, becomes a pillar of strength: they understand that growing up doesn't mean running away, but rather learning to stand up for yourself, even if it means being hurt by reality.

She always has a plan. For each his own. For everyone another name. One needs Vera (Faith), another Nadezhda (Hope). And almost all need Liubov (Love). She leaves every one at his own time. She finds a reason. But who knows where deceit ends which people buy only for the sake of money, and when genuine feelings begin? And who knows who she is: just a kept woman in the capital, or an artful swindler, or a talented actress, or a woman who is able only to love? To love them all.
