Mercedes Olivetti (Brenda Asnicar), Francisco and Fatima’s daughter, is the only reason why they continue being married. She is spoiled but good girl. She has strong values that will be broken on a wild night with alcohol and drugs when her car crashes and wounds Manuel, a young promising football star that was about to be hired by a famous European football team.

Manuel Correa (Gastón Soffritti) ends up in a wheelchair with his life destroyed and Mercedes carries the guilt. Her mother and boyfriend will manipulate her to keep silent about the accident in order to avoid jail and destroy the whole family.
