Plot
The series is about the crimes and secrets of one of the most influential families in Mexico, how a humble young man jumps through social barriers to ascend the economic and political ladder, and the awareness of a young heir who fights for clarifying the murder of his father, in a Mexico very similar to the current one, but far from being the same.
