As a child, Artyom constantly bullied the quiet Kirill. One day, he orchestrated a plot to have Kirill declared mentally ill and committed to a psychiatric hospital. Artyom quickly forgot about the past and moved on with his life, while Kirill lost twenty years of his life.

Years later, Artyom became the owner of a vast business empire and became renowned as a successful entrepreneur. However, due to a series of mistakes and betrayal by his partners, his company collapsed. All his assets were sold, and Artyom himself was sold on the underground black market like a living commodity. Beaten, weakened, and deprived of hope, he awaited his fate.

Kirill was released from a psychiatric hospital many years ago. Despite his ordeal, he was able to rebuild his life and build his own empire. Much of his income came from the black market, where his name inspired fear and respect.

One day, while walking through the market, Kirill accidentally spotted a beaten man. He immediately recognized Artyom—the man who had ruined his childhood and robbed him of twenty years of freedom. Memories of the past flared up with renewed vigor, but outwardly Kirill remained completely calm.

Without hesitation, he bought Artyom for the highest price. From that moment on, the destinies of the two former enemies became intertwined once again. Now the man who had once destroyed Kirill's life was completely dependent on the one he considered his victim.
