Police chief Fernándo Gomez Miranda kills his friend, the respected lawyer and likely candidate for Attorney General, Raúl de Los Reyes, along with his youngest daughter, who is only thirteen, in a vehicle ambush. Gomez's son, Luis Mario—a sad-eyed broadcast journalist with passionate convictions—arrives on the scene shortly after with his camera and discovers a wounded survivor in the car; Camila, the eldest daughter of de Los Reyes. Luis rushes her to the hospital, saving her life and creating an unbreakable bond between them. Luis's half-brother, police detective Alfonso Carbajal, is assigned to the case. An old schoolmate of Camila's, Alfonso has long been in love with her, and conflicts arise when all evidence points to Camila's involvement in the drug trade. The two brothers find themselves torn between their professional duty to expose Camila and their desire to protect her.
