Every ordinary traffic cop starts his career with small tasks — checking whether drivers follow the rules of the road. Over time, as he climbs the ranks, the patrol officer is allowed to inspect vehicles stopped at checkpoints, looking for prohibited items or signs of alcohol consumption. In higher positions, a police officer can even organize a pursuit to catch a violator. The patrolman works hard and hopes that, after twenty years of service, he will reach the highest commanding rank before retirement.

But the hero dreams not only of a high rank, but also of retiring to live in his own cozy country house by the sea and riding the waves in his own motorboat, one hand on the helm and the other holding a beautiful woman.

The police officer must work hard and tirelessly to earn bonuses and salary supplements. Yet he is constantly plagued by fears and doubts: will this money ever be enough to turn his “golden dream” into reality? At such moments, he faces a choice: to continue serving the state and the people honestly and with dignity, or to give in to the temptation of corruption and abuse of power. In the latter case, however, it is unlikely that he will make it peacefully to retirement—being caught taking a bribe is all too easy, and then arrest and confiscation of all property become inevitable. Unless, by some miracle, the traffic cop happens to have a time machine that can take him back at least one day to set everything right.
