Kira is a brilliant surgeon. She performs operations with virtuosity, but the problems in her own life cannot be fixed with the precise work of a scalpel. Her affair with Ignat, the married head of department, has long reached a dead end. And her relationship with her father, the chief physician, is full of unresolved conflicts.
When young doctors join the clinic, the heroine’s familiar world begins to change rapidly. Ignat flirts with a new colleague, while Kira earns a reputation as a “bitch” among her subordinates. No one understands that behind her nitpicking lies a desire to forge them into true professionals. Only Yegor, a charming surgeon, manages to see an ordinary girl behind her armor. But are his intentions sincere? While matters of life and death are decided in the operating rooms, passions rage in the hospital corridors—passions against which medicine is powerless.
