The university professor has a new neighbor. The family is kind, friendly, and has the temperament of a good middle-class neighbor. The two families quickly became acquainted, especially the professor's son, who had a good time with the boy from the neighbor's house and wished to live in someone's house. The professor's wife was an FBI agent who died in a miscarriage of justice, and the professor taught history, so he began to pay special attention to terrorism.

Under his watch, the neighbors began to show more and more oddities, and there were even signs that they were planning a terrorist attack.

As a result, the case became a case file and was filed, and the people continued to visit the vegetable market with peace of mind. However, the real terrorists are still at large and continue to plan the next attack.
