About the film
The Domestic Violence Unit was created in the wake of the renewed work of law enforcement bodies. It is headed by Inga Nikolaevna Dolinskaya, police captain. She fought for the creation of the Unit and developed the basic principles of its work.
Her girl Friday is Renata Markovich, major, forensic scientist, who had been working with Interpol for a long time. She uses her experience and knowledge of criminology to expose the truth of each particular case. Uliana Biliak - IT specialist, working for the Unit. She extracts information for investigators that cannot be quickly obtained through official means. Solomiya Didukh - a psychologist, working for the Unit. She is a responsive, tactful and honest person. But, like each of the four female investigators, she has her own "skeleton in the closet".
The brave investigators are expected to have complex and complicated cases and difficult life stories.
But besides the enemy from without, each of them must defeat the enemy from within and tough it out. And only by helping others they will help themselves.
