In the Scottish Highlands, Lara Seixas (daughter of António) is a young girl from Port-au-Prince who is apprenticed to a law firm in Edinburgh.

Simão Rosa Neto (son of Margarida) also lives in Scotland but is far from building a successful career.

After a violent confrontation with his father (Augusto), with whom he has a difficult relationship, Simão is expelled from home and emigrates.

Without resources and on the margins of everything and everyone, he plunges into an underworld of illegal struggles to subsist in a strange country.

But motivation never failed him, especially to support Inês, born of a tumultuous relationship with Mónica, who abandoned her daughter to Simão's care.

Lara, a perfect unknown, extends her hand and, from a cruel situation, a strong bond and unforeseen passion is born.

The two parents were only the first victims of a sinister plan that seems to come from a sick mind, someone who takes advantage of individual weaknesses for obscure purposes.

Lara remains intrigued by the motives that led Diana to murder all those people and Simon looks away compromised, saying that it is time to care more about their lives.

Isaura tells Jaime and Cecília that she was questioned by the PJ and had to admit that Augusto was abusing Inês.

Matilde wants to know if the father believes in grandpa's innocence and Jaime forbids the family to go to the funeral.

Isaura says that he saw Simão beaten by Augusto, but eventually he left in fear, not imagining that he could kill his father.
