Plot

In 2004, Luis Rolón (Federico Amador) is living quiet life with his wife, Iracema (Lola Banfi) and their baby daughter, Bruna, in a small town in Patagonia. One day, Luis comes home to finds Iracema stabbed on the floor and she tragically dies in his arms. Iracema was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Vito Paternó (Esteban Lamothe). Iracema had suffered years of abuse at Vito's hands and fled from Buenos Aires to Patagonia after finding out she was pregnant with Bruna (Vito never knew this). Iracema later met Luis, who agreed to raise the baby as his own. Vito tracked Iracema down and murdered her after she refused to get back together with him. Luis panics that he will be charged with her murder so he escapes Patagonia with Bruna in tow. Luis ends up in Buenos Aires, where he adopts the new identity of Omar Pereyra and remakes his life.

Fourteen years later, Omar works as a carpenter and lives with a now-teenage Bruna (Azul Fernández) in a boarding house, where they are close friends with several of the tenants. Omar decides to fulfill an old promise he made to Bruna: finish high school. At the night school he attends, Omar re-encounters Luciana Cervantes (Calu Rivero), the young woman who saw him flee Patagonia all those years ago. Omar's past, which he thought he had escaped, comes back to haunts him and he finally has to clear his name. Luciana and Omar fall in love, but they have a major obstacle: Vito, who is now in a relationship with Luciana and refuses to let her go. Omar's longtime friend, Griselda Ramos (Eugenia Tobal), who has always been in love with him, works with Vito to keep Omar and Luciana apart.

Luciana and Omar start a relationship, but their happiness is cut short when they are torn apart by a scheme orchestrated by Vito and Griselda. All though their love for each other is evident, Luciana and Omar continue to be separated time and time again by Vito and Griselda's constant manipulations. Omar starts a relationship with Griselda out of guilt after she tried to commit suicide when he told her he was in love with Luciana and not with her. Luciana gets engaged to Vito, much to Omar's disappointment.

After Luciana sees Vito in the throes of passions with her own mother, María Marta (Patricia Viggiano), she finally realizes what kind of man he is. Omar and Luciana reunite and finally make love in the house Omar is building. Vito sees them together and sets the house on fire. Griselda pulls Omar out of the fire and Omar rescues Luciana. These series of events causes the truth about Vito murdering Iracema to finally come out.

Now more empowered than ever, Luciana decides to help Omar, his police officer friend José (Rodrigo Guirao Díaz), and Iracema's sister, Rita (Bárbara Amaral), bring Vito to justice. Luciana continues her relationship with Vito in order to gather evidence against him. After Vito attempts to rape Luciana, she reveals that she knows he is Iracema's murderer and runs off, traumatized by the assault. To get Luciana to come back, Vito kidnaps Bruna. When Vito is about to kill Bruna, Omar has no choice but to reveal to Vito that Bruna is his biological daughter. Luciana returns and reveals she is pregnant. Vito kidnaps Luciana and tries to flee the country, but fails and is finally arrested for Iracema's murder.

Everything culminates when Vito is kidnapped by Rita and cult leader, Nelson Amarante (Adrián Navarro). Before the pair can kill Vito, José and Omar stop them. Vito then kidnaps Omar and tries to kill him, but Luciana arrives just in time to save him. Vito is about to murder Luciana and Omar, when Griselda arrives and kills him. Immediately after, Griselda, who has done many bad things, throws herself out of a window and falls to her death.

Some time later, it seen that Luciana, Omar, Bruna, and Juani (Franco Masini), who is Bruna's boyfriend and Luciana's nephew, have all moved to Patagonia. Luciana and Omar have welcomed a baby boy. They are finally free of the obstacles that kept them apart and they can finally live happily ever after.
