Having met the famous photographer Virg Safin, provincial journalist Tamara receives an invitation to move to the capital, thereby completely changing her life. Virg Safin is the most mysterious star of our time. His personality is incredibly mysterious; no one knows his real name or the history of his appearance in the world of show business. But many believe that his unique photographs have mystical properties and, revealing the secret essence of a person, predict fate. Some tried to unravel Virg Safin's secret technique, but... From the very first days of her stay in Safin's house, Tamara, who received the new name Mara, is immersed in a world of strangeness and secrets. The house even has a tower, entry into which is prohibited to all inhabitants of the house, including Mara. This is a photographer's studio. Having lost her head with passion for the mysterious artist, Mara promises herself to penetrate the studio-tower and unravel the terrible secret of Virg Safin. External circumstances also prompt this: Vitold Komarovsky, the photographer’s friend and business partner, was brutally murdered in his own home, and Safin himself is suspected of organizing the murder.
