As a result of this experience, Julian develops a thirst for revenge that makes assassinate everyone involved in the death of his father. In the process becomes a major drug lords in the country and a powerful leader within the Dominican society. However, despite its overwhelming power and easy access to everything he could want in life, Julian meets a woman he does confront himself: Laura (Luz Garcia), who despite having lived more dramatic than those of Julian, now has decided to choose the path of love, rather than revenge.
