Young Helene Junot witnesses the death of her mother at the hands of the Nazis.

A Russian singer and double agent, Katrina Petrovna, navigates Monte Carlo on the eve of WWII, determined to avenge her husband's death by the Gestapo while juggling adventures and love affairs.

Hélène Junot, a successful woman of action, leaves Paris for New York to face the failure of "Femmes modernes", the new magazine she had launched with her brother Edmond. Arriving in her empire, the "Junot Tower", erected in the middle of Manhattan, she confronts from the very first minutes the banker Gore, accompanied by his wife Jacqueline, Marcello Ditri, her former collaborator in Italy, whom she fired. Not to mention David Westerfield, whom she has loved for 20 years but who could not marry her because of his reputation, or the beautiful Z.Z., whose husband was her lover.

Helene is now powerful enough to track down the man who destroyed her family during the Nazi Occupation of France.

Helene's plans to marry David are torn apart by his domineering mother.
