Plot

Psychologist Fernanda, grieving the murder of her fiancé and her father's paralysis from a shooting, works at a rehab center. She's pursued by ruthless drug lord Eugenio, while finding comfort with writer Jose Luis, who hides a dark secret. As Fernanda and Jose Luis's relationship grows, Eugenio plots against him, discovering his own daughter Jaqueline also loves Jose Luis. Jaqueline is pursued by Manuel, while her friend Emilia, a dancer, is in a relationship with rocker Gerardo until dancer Enrique falls for her. These intertwined relationships create a web of love and rivalry. Wealthy but unattractive Lucía falls for Gerardo, while being pursued by Beto. Julieta, ashamed of her poverty, develops bulimia and lies about being wealthy, initially pursuing wealthy doctor Carlos before becoming interested in affluent student Ruben. When Ruben discovers her lies, he breaks up with her, believing she was after his money. Julieta then dates Beto. Lucía, with Ana's help, undergoes a transformation and seeks revenge on Gerardo, who was pity-dating her. Gerardo discovers Lucía is actually Adriana, but they reconcile. Boxer Lenny meets Jaqueline and falls for her, but their relationship is complicated by Manuel, who also loves her and makes Lenny his rival. Lenny, known for his temper, also seeks revenge on drug lord Eugenio's henchman, David, for getting his friend Sandro addicted to drugs.
