Donata is a young and ambitious lawyer. After landing a pupillage spot in a large and prestigious law firm, she is on course to become one of the finest lawyers in the country. But then she is dropped by the firm allegedly due to pregnancy, and the father of her unborn baby dumps her.
After failing to secure another job, Donata starts a tiny firm which can hardly sustain her. That changes when she meets Robert, a real estate mogul who hires her firm to do transactions for him in his area. There is a catch though. He wants her to be his mistress.

Things take a dramatic turn when she tries to save one of Robert’s friends, a County Governor, from jail. She tries bribing the local prosecutor as she often does, but the prosecutor refuses. On the day before the judgment, she makes a final effort by trying to bribe the judge. She also tries to seduce him so as to blackmail him with a rape allegation.
But the judge is ready for her, and she is arrested. Suddenly, her future looks bleak…
