Maria's painful challenge starts when Antonio, her former employer, facing death, decides to make justice for the past and includes her on his will.

Once inheriting shares from a Douro river farm, that produces an international awarded Oporto wine and shares from a medical clinic pioneer in the immunology research, Maria has to face the firm resistance from Henrique, which believes they're both opportunists that misled his father.

He will start a war and promises not to give up while he doesn't manage to kick them out of home and regain control of all his father's fortune to the legal family.

Henrique likes to show his fortune while his brother Duarte looks deep to the land and basic values.

Having faced a death situation in the past he truly changes his life and ends up falling in love with Joana, one of the medical clinic researchers.
