The TV series "Kurkul" is a dramatic action film about the struggle of the "little man" against corrupt authorities. Anton Terekhov, a simple working man, single-handedly builds up a rural farm. He creates a large farm that feeds his family. But unexpectedly, another contender appears on Terekhov's land - Vice Mayor Zhilov, who dreams of building an elite cottage settlement on this plot. When Terekhov refuses to sell his property for a pittance, they try to "persuade" him in a more radical way.
