Camilo, a Cuban lifeguard, saves a Mexican businessman named Abel from drowning in the Caribbean Sea. Grateful, Abel “rescues” Camilo, by offering to take him to Mexico and become his right-hand man. Abel introduces Camilo to his daughter, Juana, whom he marries and with whom he eventually has a daughter. But soon, Camilo discovers that everything was part of a Machiavellian plan of manipulation and control. With his new life collapsing, he must uncover who is behind the plot and take control of his own destiny. Will he find a way out, or will he remain trapped in the power game?
