Vladimir Alekseevich Godinsky gets a job at the Atlant construction holding as head of the project management department. Over the course of a short period of time, he wins the favor of management through his dedicated work and, as a result of an unpleasant incident for the company’s reputation that happened at a corporate event, he occupies the chair of the head of the capital investment department. In parallel, the Atlant holding is taking part in a tender for the construction of the largest facility in the history of modern Russia, the cost of which is estimated at more than a trillion rubles. The stakes in the pursuit of victory are so high that competitors in the general contracting services market are ready to use the dirtiest methods of fighting. Godinsky, by decision of the main shareholder of the company, is involved in contracting a new project. And it is under conditions of increased workload, strict confidentiality and uncertainty of the plan that the essence of an ideal employee, a real clerk, his true goals and motivation is revealed.
