Because she comes from a very humble background, Pedro's parents set up all kinds of intrigues in order to prevent the couple from fulfilling their seemingly predestined love story. Twenty years later, all it takes is a casual encounter to spark that feeling again and have them fighting against not only Pedro's family tricks, but also Heloisa's mighty and unscrupulous husband.
