Strange things are happening in an old mansion on Chistye Prudy, which has not been listed in any documents for some time. On a Saturday morning in March, two friends living in this ghost house, Lipa and Lucinda, fall... the corpse of a neighbor. Moreover, the body is wrapped with explosive wires. The residents of the ill-fated house gathered at the scene, neutralizing the blast wave, are saved from death by a new neighbor Pavel Dobrovolsky.

A detective story about the life of a young extravagant person named Viola Tarakanova. Explosions, chases, murders, kidnappings-in short, Viola's life is always on the verge of death... But it's not like Viola didn't like it either. Enthusiastically, taking on each new investigation, she easily unravels the seemingly most unsolvable mysteries, in which her brilliant intuition and undoubted talent help her.

Our time. A provincial town. Here, as everywhere, there are their intrigues, their heroes, their villains. And people live, of course, not only with work and household chores. People live with worries, disappointments, unexpected meetings. Once upon a time, three friends Pestrov, Suvorov and Chagin studied at the same institute, walked together, loved together. Time has passed, and youthful hobbies have grown into something more. Three friends became rivals in love. Rivals in life. Their destinies are connected by a single maze, through which they all wander, against the walls and corners of which they are thrown by love, hate, friendship.
