From the very first talk with Robert all her female feelings are aroused, like a tsunami, washing away her goals in life and changing her tendencies. Mary and Robert fall in love for each other almost instantly. One of Noirson's guards, Jerry, finds himself under her charm, but he hides his emotions, because his devotion to the Master is stronger. This classic situation has an unusual twist though. Moreover, all events that seem to be standard at first become bizarre and unexpected! An regular conversation at lunch makes Mary show her faith. A loving, evening walk turns into a religion discussion. A fancy birthday present enquirers a lot of efforts and causes several problems. The first ball in Mary's life becomes mental torture. A romantic trip requires Mary to defend her clerical believes. 'Your beliefs scare me sometimes. I feel that I'm betraying God.' After a few tough events Mary and Robert get married. But the real tribulation and challenges only begin when a new girl, Brandy, gets hired. Like real brandy, the super-sexy girl makes all men feel like they're in a drunken state. She falls in love with Jerry, but seeing his crush on Mary, the proud girl hides her feelings. The typical love triangle becomes a perplexed situation, as Brandy starts her plans for revenge...
