Episode 1 Artemis, a 30-year-old taekwondo champion, is forced to work at a gym after suffering an injury. There, she meets Tania, the wife of Russian tycoon Ivan, who asks her to privately train her husband's son, Dimitris. Although Artemis agrees at first, she soon realizes that Tania’s true intention wasn’t training—but caregiving, as Dimitris is on the autism spectrum. Encouraged by her best friend, Sissy, Artemis begins looking after Dimitris and gradually grows emotionally attached to him. But everything changes one night, when two hooded men break into the mansion to kidnap Dimitris. |

Episode 2 Artemis realizes she can’t rely on the police, so she and Dimitris flee the mansion, while Ivan and Tania remain missing. With a manhunt underway, Artemis seeks shelter at her estranged mother Vana’s house. But when the authorities track her down there, she escapes once more—this time to her father’s remote village. What she doesn’t know is that the village holds secrets of its own. |
