While excavating one of the many tunnels of the Moscow Metro, Soviet workers unearth the ruins of a dungeon. The place is closed, the metro tunnel is diverted, and amidst the hustle and bustle, no one notices that the tunnel workers’ foreman keeps a small “souvenir” in his pocket – a book-sized frame made of precious metals with an inscription in an unknown language. Decades later, the foreman’s grandson Ilya, who works as a courier, discovers the ancient relic in a pile of old junk. Unaware of the family heirloom’s true value, he soon learns about it from a mysterious stranger. The relic is the key to the secret location of the priceless ancient library that once belonged to Ivan the Terrible. What Ilya doesn’t know is that the search for the lost library has been going on for centuries and now very powerful people are after him. Ilya and the mysterious stranger decide to try their luck to find the library.
