The talented young artist Viktoria has friends, a successful career and love. Suddenly, she loses everything: her lover runs away, leaving Viktoria with debts to creditors. To pay off her debts, Vika sells her flat, her car, and all her artwork, and moves into her studio. Her friends arrange a commission for a portrait of an influential industrial magnate. The portrait becomes a prelude to the wedding. However, the man dies on their wedding night...

The will comes as a shock to everyone – all the estate is bequeathed to his young wife. An exhumation of the body, requested by the deceased’s eldest son, reveals signs of poisoning. Suspicion falls primarily on Victoria, and the court proceedings do not go in her favour. But an unexpected witness appears, whose testimony exonerates her. Vika’s trials are not over yet – intrigues, envy, and threats continue to haunt her. A young, handsome police captain helps Victoria make sense of what is happening.
