According to the plot, an employee of the Saratov OBKhSS (Department for Combating the Theft of Socialist Property) Alexander Shishinin (Nikita Kologrivy) after the birth of his daughter decides to drastically change his life and do what he always dreamed of - produce a musical group. He meets a talented composer Vitaly Okorokov (Vladimir Kanukhin). Together, literally on the street, they find the first vocalists: Alena Apina (Anastasia Ukolova), Tatyana Ivanova (Elizaveta Bazykina) and assemble the first female group in the Soviet Union: vocalists and musicians - girls who, through songs, will tell about their difficult fate and about the era. The group "Combination" gained great popularity in the early 1990s and became widely known thanks to the hits "Russian Girls", "American Boy", "Don't Forget" and "Accountant".
Before starting work on the project, the authors were looking for a story that would become the leitmotif of the entire series. The starting point was the fate of Alexander Shishinin, an ordinary policeman who fulfilled his dream and created the first Soviet and Russian girl band.
