Vera (16), a girl from a regular family, unwillingly gets into a private school where children of rich and high-profile parents study. 10th grade is the most privileged and high-flying. One of its students is Roman (16), son of school founder and his ex-wife Ilona Zakrevska, head of the school's parents' committee and a well-known socialite. There is instant chemistry between Roman and Vera with emotions running high. At first, they confront each other; it is only later that they become aware of mutual feelings, get closer thanks to their shared passion for music, and let love into their hearts. Roman does not know that Vera has to spy on him to save her younger brother from prison. The private school is under suspicion as a venue of drug-dealing. The police want to uncover the criminals so they integrate Vera into the senior class as their deep cover agent. Vera finds herself in the middle of a twisted detective plot where the real criminal spins his own game. The girl is used and set up to accuse Roman of drug-dealing - Vera will have to make a choice: either to betray Roman and hand him to the police to save her brother or to believe her boyfriend and protect him despite "cast-iron" evidence of his guilt.
