In November, at the very beginning of the terrible winter of 1941, when the blockade ring closes around Leningrad, a group of young iceboat athletes goes out onto the thin, not yet formed ice. The mission to deliver ammunition turns into an operation to save orphans from an orphanage who were not evacuated in time. Former rivals in regatta sports must now turn into a real united team in order to survive themselves and give hope to everyone else.

Successful St. Petersburg restaurateur Mark lives in a whirlwind of vibrant events and social adventures: parties, tastings, boisterous gatherings, beautiful girlfriends and cheerful friends with their own crushes, romances, and betrayals. But one day, Mark will have to make a choice: a world of fleeting desires and thrills or a feeling that happens only once and lasts forever.
