Ethan was born in a marginal neighborhood of Boston, and he was destined for the same fate as many of his peers: hard work, a bleak, boring life. But he managed to outplay destiny—he got an education and became a famous psychoanalyst. Now he is rich and famous, but, alas, still unhappy. Because to reach the heights of life, he had to commit betrayal. As if in revenge, fate deprives him of his only love: Celine, the girl he loves endlessly, marries someone else.
Ethan understands that it’s time to pay for his mistakes. But won’t he have a chance to fix them?
