About
A lonely girl, Vera, lives by studying and taking care of her sixteen-year-old brother. Vera tries to replace both her mother and father, who have been missing for several years, for a difficult teenager. As a gift of fate, an adult man, a successful businessman-builder, bursts into her life. Passion and high romantic flight turn into a tragedy for Vera: businessman Maxim turns a large-scale financial scam around the girl, after which she becomes the main person involved in the criminal case.
