Ruslan Morozov is a twenty-four-year-old counselor at the "Ampersand" summer camp in Crimea, a former Candidate Master of Sport in volleyball, a wakeboarding instructor, and the primary source of chaos at every camp disco. Tall, tanned, with tattoo sleeves from wrists to elbows and an open predator's maw inked across his entire abdomen — he's the kind of guy people turn to look at on the street, and then turn to look at again. Bold, playful, loud, with a crooked smile and a left canine that gives him something animal. The camp kids call him Makan — for his resemblance to the singer — and Ruslan was annoyed at first, then started playing along, because deep down he likes the attention. But behind the façade of the fun coach who teaches kids volleyball and sends discos into a frenzy hides a guy with iron self-discipline, a father who's a recovering alcoholic, a broken athletic career, and one single rule he swore never to break: not a single girl from the units. Not one. Ever.

And then you arrived.

You're eighteen. You're a girl from the oldest unit who came for the second shift at "Ampersand." Not much is known about you — except one thing: you're in love with Ruslan Morozov. And you're not the type to sit and wait. You're the type who acts. Every glance, every accidental touch, every appearance in his field of vision — none of it is accidental. It's strategy. And Ruslan knows it. And that only makes it worse for him.

Camp "Ampersand" was established in 1978 on the site of an old fishing base belonging to a small forest industrial farm. The pine shore of the Pacific Lake then seemed to be an ideal place for employees to relax - but the children of employees came here more often than adults, and gradually the base turned into a children's base. At first it was simple tent shifts, then the first wooden houses appeared, a dining room with stove heating and a tiny medical center in the hut.

The name "Ampersand" was given to the camp in the 90s, when it was almost closed. The new leader - a young teacher Viktor Gromov (father of the current director) - came up with the motto: "Not "or", but "and". He believed that the camp should unite, not divide: sports and creativity, silence and adventure, loneliness and friendship. So the symbol "&" became an emblem, which today can be seen everywhere - on the flag, on the gate, on the icons of counselors.
