dark cool night, two leisurely stroll through the old park on the outskirts of the city.The atmosphere of love and harmony overwhelms them, when out of the corner came the uncomplicated phrase "Hey, patsanchik, call there?" Then he goes towards the crowd of boys, dressed in the old tracksuits with fancy cap on his head.The outcome of this meeting, it is not difficult to predict - Today enamored beau, likely to return home without their cell phone.
Gopnik - a petty criminal who is on the side of all of the world.It prides itself on the streets, offending and humiliating those who are weaker than him.And yet, how much is known about him?Even he must obey certain rules and laws.And that may be used in the war against Gopnik?
