Everyone survives on their own; everyone is consumed by their own thing—some by reckless love, others by hatred, which in turn prevents them from living. And each person is utterly alone, shut inside the shell of their own “self.” Especially intensely suffers from her loneliness Veronica, a doctor who, by circumstances, became a housekeeper in a large, well-off, complicated family.

Here everyone has their own problems, their own ambitions, their own accounts with one another. But is it only so in this family—does life in a huge megacity that grinds people’s fates so easily really work differently somewhere? Veronica has to survive, to make it through in this cold and cruel world. But it turns out that to survive, you must necessarily help—if only secretly—other people, outsiders, strangers who are in essence alien to you. And goodness has a price. So Veronica ends up in a dark pantry, two steps from death, with almost impossible hope that, in the darkness of her despair, a rescue fire will suddenly flare up…
