Of seemingly humble origins, Rafael has secretly courted Mariana, granddaughter of the powerful Dona Marta, matriarch of the Matos Lacerda family, who dominate the city, since childhood. Rafael is unaware of his father's existence. In his struggle to win his son, Vladimir faces opposition from Ana, who knows all his weaknesses.
