When Martin was younger, he was known as Diego Mercarder, a child who was bullied and harassed by his classmates. As a result of all the abuse, he suffered a breakdown and was encouraged by an unknown person to shoot seven of his schoolmates. He is found guilty and sentenced to prison for their murders.
After 20 years in jail, psychiatrist Antonia Villaroel - with the financial help of Ezequiel Alvarado (Saul Lisazo) - gets Martin an early release. Now with a new identity, he takes a job as a personal bodyguard to Ezequiel’s fiancée, Mariana (Elizabeth Gutiérrez), who is involved in a relationship with Ezequiel’s son Luciano (Jonathan Islas).
It’s here that Martin finds himself stuck in the middle of a maze of intrigue and betrayal, which becomes even worse when Antonia decides to find out the truth about the murders all those years ago.
