Ethan was born in a marginal quarter of Boston, and he was destined for the same fate as many of his peers: hard work, a dull, boring life. But he managed to outplay fate - he was educated, became a famous psychoanalyst. Now he is rich and famous, but, alas, still unhappy. After all, in order to reach the heights of life, he had to commit a betrayal. And as if in revenge for this, fate deprives him of his only love - Celine, a girl who is infinitely dear to him, marries another. Ethan understands: it's time for payback for mistakes. But wouldn't he have a chance to fix them?
