Marina Romanova, head of the surgical department, and her husband Vadim Belov, an anesthesiologist, seem like the perfect couple—but their dreams diverge: she wants a child, while he craves career advancement. Everything changes with the arrival of a new chief physician—Svetlana Akulova, Marina’s former friend. Svetlana separates the spouses and then frames Marina, accusing her of an error during an operation that left motorcycle racer Boris Avilov disabled. Romanova is convicted and sent to a penal colony. After her release, Marina cannot return to her profession because of her criminal record and becomes Avilov’s caregiver. Step by step, she achieves success in his rehabilitation. Will she be able to restore Boris’s health—and what will happen when he learns the truth about her role in his fate?
