Goryachie novosti

A determined female detective in Moscow transforms a departmental loss into a reality TV show, where police prepare for a counterattack.

A gang of thieves, robbing cash collectors, encounter a police surveillance team and engage in a gunfight due to the police's inadequate response. The incident is captured on camera by a TV crew and becomes a major news story, eroding public trust in law and order. The head of the Moscow police force launches a public search-and-destroy operation, led by Katya, his PR director, who proposes transforming the capture of the gang into a live TV show. The gang, led by Herman, is besieged in an apartment block, holding a father and his son and daughter hostage. A massive rescue operation fails, and Katya's team manipulates the footage to create a false victory. Enraged by the broadcast, Herman strikes back by uploading his own footage to the Internet and broadcasting from the apartment via a web camera, starting an information war with unknown outcomes.
