The Syndicate is a corporation called Ortus that has holdings in pharmaceuticals, construction, transportation, mass media and show business. But behind the façade of its official business is a structure that has a monopoly on the production and distribution of cheap synthetic drugs in Russia. When law enforcement agencies discover the real business of this octopus-like syndicate, they decide to send in two undercover agents. Each of them has a mission, and neither of them knows about the other. They go deep undercover – change their names, erase their biographies, and abandon their loved ones. Their only contact with headquarters and the world is through the Curator.
