Four teenagers, each facing a major conflict. Majô, the daughter of separated parents, has fallen in love with her mother Raquel’s husband, the teacher Túlio. Caíto, who is gay, lives in a dysfunctional home where his parents' marriage—Dirceu and Marilu’s—is going from bad to worse. Doca is a drug addict, and his sister Bia has become pregnant by her boyfriend, Michel. Their parents, Odilon and Paula, are deeply unhappy as well. Interwoven with their stories is that of Túlio—a former addict turned upstanding teacher—who encounters a haunting figure from his past: his ex-sister-in-law, Fernanda.

Amílcar Salém is a good-humored man in his sixties, owner of a pharmaceutical complex and a leader in the fertilizer industry. His hobby is raising animals – thoroughbred horses, breeding cattle for beef and dairy, as well as pigs – while he dreams of creating purebreds. This dream includes racehorses, which he treats with extreme care at his stud farm. He sends one of his mares to the United States, where she is bred, carrying the future champion in her womb. Artificial insemination is a secret Amílcar keeps until his death in a car accident. His eldest son, Jorge, inherits the fortune and takes over the family business. Jorge is separating from his wife, Alexandra Cardoso, and the couple has a son, Flávio. Amílcar's death shakes everyone, especially his grandson, who was very close to him. Flávio is the owner of Panambi – "blue butterfly" in Tupi-Guarani – the foal conceived in the United States through artificial insemination.

Respecting their daughter Madalena's feelings, however, the parents eventually consent to her marriage to Cirilo. Suzana and Antero, both rejected by their cousins ​​to whom they had dedicated their love, begin to plot.

Four people--Eliana, an adult movie actress who is pestered by a psychotic fan; Ester, a young woman who became pregnant with a village boy; Danilo, a failed deputy who is in love with a hotel maid much younger than him, and his unfaithful ex-wife, Elza--all end up in a small inner-city hotel.
