Dimitris Dalikis was the owner of a bank abroad. However, he went bankrupt and returned to Greece with only a few securities left. With the stock market crash, he lost those too, leaving him literally "broke." He was on the verge of suicide when he met Anna, a widow with a young son, Stefanos. One day, Dimitris, in order to save little Stefanos from certain death in a building, injured his hands and was left paralyzed. Misfortune befell their home, and Anna decided to give the child up for adoption. Years passed and Stefanos became a prosecutor. His relationship with Rania, his fiancée, was sealed with their marriage, with Stefanos' mother watching from a distance.
