For 15 years, Zé Maria is forced to live in hiding, leading a life of deception in another country, trapped by memories of the past and assuming a new identity. Today, he is a successful farmer, the owner of the Ouro Verde empire, known as Jorge Monforte, and has become one of the wealthiest men in Brazil. The passage of time has only intensified his thirst for revenge, causing him to lose his sense of right and wrong and his capacity to love. Fifteen years later, he returns to Portugal, ready to settle the score and destroy Miguel Ferreira da Fonseca.
