An unpleasant incident on the winter track results in a conflict between two racing drivers: the aging master of sports Kukushkin and his student — the young and ambitious Sergachev. The disagreement leads to the fact that despite the protests of the team coach, on the eve of the next major competitions, former teammates find themselves in different crews.
