Poteryav mat' v pyatnadcat' let, Beatris po prozvishchu Lima utratila glavnuyu oporu, i ee zhizn' prevratilas' v nastoyashchiy haos. Bez maminoy lyubvi i podderzhki, chuvstvuya sebya nikomu ne nuzhnoy, devochka ot otchayaniya pogruzhalas' v bezdny anoreksii. Slozhnyy process vyzdorovleniya zanyal nemalo vremeni, zato spustya gody Beatris chetko opredelila svoe prizvanie i stala uspeshnym klinicheskim psihologom. No odnazhdy k ney v kabinet prihodit neznakomaya pacientka, kotoraya utverzhdaet, chto mat' Limy zhiva i chto ey grozit smertel'naya opasnost'. I snova zhizn' Beatris perevorachivaetsya s nog na golovu, i molodaya zhenshchina brosaetsya na poiski materi, nevol'no perekhodya dorogu mogushchestvennym silam, sposobnym razrushit' ee zhizn'.
