From its strict rules and convent-like existence, Kaisu is rescued by an ambitious man who needs a wife to help him scale the heights of political life. Alone, unworldly, trusting, and completely in love, Kaisu finds her dreams come true when he asks her to marry him. Once his ring is on her finger, she realises her mistake, but it takes years before the full extent of his lies and secrecy are unveiled.
