Ouro Verde (English: Payback) is a Portuguese telenovela broadcast and produced by TVI, written by newcomer Maria João Costa.
"Jorge Monforte" (Diogo Morgado) is a Brazilian entrepreneur, owner of the Ouro Verde (Brazil) empire, one of the world leaders in the agricultural market.
João Magalhães (Paulo Pires), his father, was BBFF's chief financial officer when a scandal involving the bank broke out in a complicated scheme of fraud and misappropriation of capital.
There is love at first sight, but Zé Maria has other concerns because his memory returns, he joins the pieces and realizes that Miguel is the principal of the hateful crime that killed his whole family.
It is in Rio de Janeiro, in an impetus of courage, that "Zé Maria" ends up saving from a dangerous situation "Januário Cavalcantti" (Gracindo Júnior), an important colonel with vast properties in the Amazonia.
Years later, more powerful than ever, thanks to the growth of the cattle and soy business, and already with a strong position in the BBFF, Jorge decides that it is time to return to Portugal and settle accounts with the past.
