Description
Felicito Yanaque's life has been transformed from poverty to prosperity through his trucking business. However, when he receives a threatening letter demanding protection money, he finds himself embroiled in a desperate situation. As the police fail to take him seriously, Felicito refuses to pay up, and his troubles escalate. His personal life becomes increasingly complicated as his mistress is kidnapped, drawing him into a web of intrigue. The story intertwines with that of Rigoberto, a wealthy insurance executive, whose boss and friend Ismael announces a shocking marriage to a woman from Piura, causing tension among those close to him. As the situation unfolds, Rigoberto faces accusations and media scrutiny, while his son experiences strange visions. The lines between reality and danger become blurred as Felicito's fate is inextricably linked with that of Rigoberto, both men struggling to navigate their complex lives amidst threats and uncertainty.
