Plot
In Campeche, at the end of the 19th century, Rodrigo Montes de Oca (Enrique Rocha) becomes the guardian of his cousins, Matilde (Alma Muriel) and Blanca Flor (Connie de la Mora). Matilde loves Rodrigo, but he only has eyes for Blanca Flor, unaware that she is having an affair with the fisherman Enrique (Eduardo Yáñez).
When the pregnant Blanca Flor is about to enter into a secret marriage with her lover, her sister betrays her. Rodrigo interrupts the wedding, has the fisherman arrested and his cousin banished to a ranch. Matilde tells Blanca Flor that Enrique has died in prison.
This brings forward the delivery of the woman who gives birth to a son. The perverse Matilde makes her sister believe that the child has died. In reality, Rodrigo has ordered that he be left in an orphanage. Nanny Soledad (Isabela Corona) gives him to a prostitute who is Enrique's friend and who decides to raise him.
Matilde makes Rodrigo believe that her sister has passed away. In reality, Blanca Flor has gone mad and Matilde has locked her in the basement of the ranch. Rodrigo marries and becomes a widower. Eighteen years later, the Montes de Ocas will pay for their crimes when Alejandro (Eduardo Yáñez), Enrique and Blanca Flor's son, returns to avenge his parents.
But during his return trip, Alejandro will meet and fall in love with Ana Cristina (Leticia Calderón), without knowing that she is the daughter of Rodrigo Montes de Oca, the man responsible for his parents' misfortune. Thus, he will be torn between love and revenge.
