Overview

Valeriya is a talented resuscitator. Work in a prestigious metropolitan clinic, her daughter's plans to enter a university, an affair with the head physician. All this collapses when Valeriya, saving a drug-addicted girl from an overdose, takes extreme measures and fails. The girl's father, an influential man Revzin, deprives Valeriya of the right to practice as a doctor and is even ready - an eye for an eye - to harm her daughter. Valeriya is forced to leave for Petrozavodsk and get a job as an ordinary nurse in a hospital, using her medical school diploma. Her task is to work inconspicuously, without betraying her medical skills and without attracting attention, and the goal is to save her daughter.
