After an attack aimed at him kills his wife Marina and their twin daughters, Tony returns to São Paulo seeking revenge, at the same time he is investigated by the uncorruptible federal police officer Teolônio "Téo" Meira.

[3] Poder Paralelo is based on Honra ou Vendetta, the only novel by sports journalist and cuisine author Sílvio Lancelotti, originally published in 2001.

This caused a controversy in Brazil, as well as accusations of hypocrisy from the head of the network, once violent scenes, featuring as even as torture, remained untouched.
