GRU intelligence officer Yuri Nikitin (Sergei Marin) infiltrates Badaber — a real compound near Peshawar where Afghan mujahideen fighters were trained under CIA guidance. His assignment: gather proof of the facility's existence.

What he finds inside changes everything. Among the Soviet prisoners held there, he recognizes Mikhail Kolesov — the general's son, missing for years and written off for dead. Nikitin chooses to stay. Directed by Kirill Belevich, the series is built around the actual 1985 prisoner uprising at Badaber, an event that stayed classified in the USSR for decades.
