In a scenario where the protagonists' lives apparently seem not to be connected, hidden truths emerge and link them to one another.

Two sisters, a couple of lovers and a fake marriage create an explosive mix where love is overwhelmed by hate. A tragic and vital plot where passion, betrayal, blackmail and revenge bring the characters' lives to their limits. All this, characterized by hypocrisies that will be the explosive fuse of dramatic events.
