The gang of Afghan Mujahideen crosses the border for a sabotage. In the hands of the bandits are two archaeologists: Oksana and Jamil, who are forced to be guides by force. The Russian border detachment, who entered into an unequal battle with the thugs armed to the teeth, dies. The ensign Maryin, who miraculously survived, must perform the impossible - to prevent sabotage at all costs.
