After many years of actively avoiding her family, Mariia finally decides to pay them a visit, seemingly to celebrate her grandmother's jubilee. However, her intentions might not be as wholesome as it seems, as the true nature of her visit lies in the fact that the birthday girl decided to grant Mariia the ownership over her home. Mariia's uncle Grygorii learns of this and decides to engage in a turf war with his niece, hoping that this will result in the latter changing her mind. However, the young entrepeneur is a tougher nut to crack than it initially looks.
