On his wedding day, paramedic Ivan is publicly betrayed and humiliated by his fiancée, Nora, and his nominal younger brother, Liam. At this critical juncture, his biological mother—Vera, from whom he had been separated for twenty years—appears to stand by his side. It is gradually revealed that Ivan is no "good-for-nothing," but rather a mysterious, formidable figure known as "X"—a man of immense power and world-class status. Nora and her associates, who repeatedly scramble to curry favor with the powerful, eventually discover that the very man they discarded is, in fact, someone who stands at the absolute pinnacle of the world.
