Doctor Dahna lives with her mother Ayana in Kenya, where she runs the children's aid organization Hekima Foundation. When Ayana is dying, she reveals one last secret to her daughter: her biological father is Victor Frey, the famous head of a large beauty company. After the loss of her mother, Dahna travels to Germany to get to know her father better. There, however, she encounters a completely alien world. Although her father welcomes her with open arms, his life is characterized by luxury, glamour and money, unlike hers. In memory of Ayana, Victor decides to launch his new perfume under her name. After he uses almost any means necessary, Dahna realizes that her father has two faces. When the press suddenly reports that the Hekima Foundation is involved in a donation scandal, Dahna begins to investigate and discovers a dark family secret.
