Have you ever heard of the term "ricochet victims"? No, they are not those who were hit by a ricocheting bullet. This term refers to the immediate surroundings of the victim. Family members of the deceased, husbands of raped women, parents of children hit by cars… Those who often suffer almost as much as the victim of the tragedy themselves…

A serial killer has emerged in Moscow. With monstrous strength, the unknown is breaking the necks of lonely passersby and leaving short notes on their bodies: "For my Teacher." What does he want to convey to the world with his messages? Is he a fierce maniac, obsessed with a mad idea? Or are members of a bloody cult committing ritual sacrifices? Or maybe it’s just ordinary contract killings cleverly disguised as the actions of a madman?
