Dan Nichita (Adrian Stefan) is a young up-and-coming rock musician with an appetite for success and love.

He lives his life without a care in the world knowing he has the backing of his powerful casino-owning father, Alexandru Nechita. Although he loves and supports his son, he can't wish enough that Dan would take life a little more serious.

But where the father fails, love might prevail. Dan falls in love with Daria (Victoria Raileanu), a young orphan just out of school and with dreams of becoming a ballerina. Daria found shelter in the school's library through the care of a compassionate soul, Gicu Timofte, the high school's aging librarian. Gicu also protects and defends the girl from the meanness of Olivia Muscalu, a very bitter and resentful librarian.

Meeting Dan has not been all roses for Daria. Dan's official girlfriend, Silvia Damian (Andreea Bibiri), an aspiring fashion designer who seeks financial support and connections to launch her career sees Dan as the perfect trampoline for her plans.

Things get even more complicated when Alexandru Nechita discovers he is suffering from cancer and would like his son to inherit the family business. Dan becomes involved in a web of intrigues plotted especially by his step-brother, Andi (Alexandru Papadopol). Apparently good-natured, helpful and sympathetic, Andi is tormented with envy of his step-brother's fate, as he is only an adopted child, and waits for the moment to get his chance at the inheritance.

Alice (Elvira Deatcu), Alexandru's lover, has her own say in the matter, as she is trying to have his child who would assure her a share of the fortune. All this while Nicky Novac (Constantin Cotimanis), club owner and loan shark, carries a personal vendetta against the Nichita family.

Who will take the power? Will Dan manage to face his adversaries and protect his recently discovered love from harm? Or will the old temptations of easy life turn him into a mere puppet in the hands of others?
