Synopsis

Everardo Rey is a powerful business man who leads the Rey Industrial Group in Mexico. He has three sons: Everardo "Vado", Guillermo and Matías. His wife is Manuela San Vicente.

Behind the empire of wealth, there is a story of betrayal and deceit made meticulously by Everardo Rey, a man who grew up with Pedro Malvido, his best friend. Both were poor and in their desire to improve their quality of life, they look for the "American Dream". In USA, they agree to forget Manuela San Vicente, a high class girl who was loved by both of them. After several years and having made fortune, Everardo and Pedro go back to Mexico in order to start a glass collection business. However, Everardo Rey forgets his agreement with Pedro and marries Manuela.

Once free and without money, Pedro finds out fraud charge details and his friend's betrayal. With his family, Pedro Luis tries to start over again, but he always waits for the revenge on Everardo Rey.

Away from hate and revenge, a deep and real love is born between Pedro's daughter Lorenza Malvido and Matías Rey who try to calm down the family hate in order to be in peace and happy together.
