Dr. Ádám Koltay flees the city. Although he is the darling of society, he has grown weary of the emptiness of social life.

In gratitude, she offers him an invitation to join the hustle and bustle of a nearby noisy resort, but Adam steals a kiss from her instead. Eve vows revenge, ready to do anything to disturb his peace.
