The case began when the nanny’s body was found in a playground. At first, her death was thought to be a tragic accident involving a child’s slide. However, further investigation revealed she had suffered blunt force trauma, confirming it was a homicide.

It was later uncovered that Oksana (starring Irina Dubova), another nanny with deep resentment toward the victim, had created a fake Facebook account to frame her. Oksana’s motives stemmed from personal grievances, including religious differences. Using a clever strategy, Karadec (starring Daniel Sunjata) tricked the nannies into revealing Oksana’s scheme by hinting that their workplaces had hidden cameras.
