The beautiful Angelina likes family business, but her fiancé Pavlo Korostylov persuades her to give up witchcraft for the sake of their common future. Angelina's stubbornness and the intrigues of her rival Inga Dumanova, who is in love with Pavel, do their job. Angelina and Paul divorce. He marries Inga, and the young couple gives birth to twin boys.

Three years later, trouble comes to the house of the Korostylevs. Both children have diphtheria, and there is no way to get to the hospital. Heartbroken, Korostylov begs Angelina to save the children. However, one of the kids suffocates. Mad with grief, Inga accuses Angelina of premeditated murder out of jealousy, and angry fellow villagers commit genocide against the "witch Angelina".

Twenty years later, young Sofia Koltsova and Igor Korostylov meet. They are young, successful and happily in love - but the shadow between them is the crime of the past and the deadly enmity of two families - Korostylev and Koltsov.
