Plot of the series High Stakes season 1:
The series takes place in 2004. Yuri Alekseevich Sergeev, nicknamed "Cosmonaut", who was convicted of real estate fraud, is released.
Sergeyev skillfully manages the money earned in the wild 90s, and invests it in the hotel business. But this was only a cover. The main business of the Cosmonaut's life is the gaming business, and ten years after his release, he becomes the owner of a network of underground casino in Saint Petersburg.
Its central casino is where the city's richest and most influential people play: officials, generals, businessmen, and gangsters. The stakes are the highest here, so becoming a member of this elite club was very difficult. To do so, you had to pay $250,000 in fees and undergo a thorough check by the casino's security service, which was headed by Sergeyev's longtime friend and partner Ivan Kharitonov, nicknamed "Captain."

From the first days of working for the Cosmonaut, Borzov began to provide important information about the locations of casinos, detailed plans of the premises, and methods of laundering dirty money.
But the main thing was that Borzov learned that the police general Cherepanov was protecting the Cosmonaut's criminal business. This information was more than enough to cover the Cosmonaut's underground empire, but Tkachev was in no hurry to carry out the operation.
And soon Borzov realized that he had become a pawn in someone else's game and that the lieutenant colonel was not going to deal with the Cosmonaut and his business. With Borzov's help, Tkachev was simply trying to bring down General Cherepanov in order to become a "roof" for the Cosmonaut's underground empire. And the stakes in this game were too high to leave alive an agent who knew a lot...
