Storyline

The action is set in the year 2140 in a world where every citizen has the right to an authorised killing of a single person once in their lifetime. A person can only become eligible after a thorough examination of their case by one of the specially trained judges at The fourth right administration, a state institution, that regulates the "pass to kill" law. Vadim Sokolov is one of the judges and in each episode he tackles a new case, giving or taking away someone's right for revenge through a single shot. He and the other judges deal with people, whose situations do not fall under the articles of the criminal code.

Even though the right is presented as a good thing and a deterrent to wrongdoing, voices are beginning to denounce the practice as state sanctioned murder and a violation of the highest human laws… A parallel plot develops, in which we learn that the adoption of the «pass to kill» may have been the darkest act of manipulation in human history and somewhere there is a man who feels almost like a god because he decides who gets the right to be a murderer. And who doesn't.
