Moscow lies deep under snow, and Arkady Renko is called in to handle a delicate matter: passengers riding the last metro of the night have reported seeing the ghost of Stalin standing on the platform. But in the midst of a blizzard, nothing is as it first appears. Renko's girlfriend, Eva, and his adopted son, Zhenya, seem to be slipping into danger. The owner of a matrimonial agency wants her husband killed. Die-hard Communists gather to sing along with Stalin. "Red Diggers" uncover secrets buried for half a century in a desolate forest and Renko discovers ghosts that have been waiting for him all his life...
