 At Rio Escondido, Lalo Coraje, a famous football payer, returns home. There are his brothers, Jeronimo and Juan, and his parents: Ana and Sebastian Coraje. There is also Pedro Barras s family (Estrella and service staff), the owner of a diamond mine. The two families are rivals for power. Lalo is engaged to Paula, but he has an affair with Rita (who is the Doctor Maciel s daughter). Paula is pregnant and he has to marry her. In the meantime, Clara, who is Pedro s daughter, returns to the country. She is schizophrenic; she has a double personality: "Diana" good and "Marcia" bad. Juan meets and falls in love with Clara, but Pedro is opposed, he wants her to marry the noble Falcon. Estrella falls in love with Lorenzo and they try to kill Pedro. Jeronimo falls in love with Lina-Potira an Indian, but she will marry Rodrigo. Jeronimo issues a policy against Pedro Barras, but this one has at his side the silly and drunk doctor Maciel, the corrupt Inspector Falcon, who at the end will redeem himself and the foreman Jose Matos, who in reality is his illegitimate son with the maid Dominga.
