Synopsis
In 1975, three young reporters and a priest are investigating criminal acts tied to Gumersindo Montenegro, a rising politician. Twenty-five years later, two children born from this tragedy – Gumersindo’s son Cesár Augusto, and Amanda, raised by Father Tejedor – are shocked by a second murder of vengeance. Their story touches many others. There is Mónica Montenegro, whose loveless marriage leads to a dangerous search for the truth. Aleluya Sotomayor, a former prostitute who escapes her past only to confront the painful destiny of her daughter. María Solita, a naive but talented youth cruelly torn from her one true love. And Emma de Castro León, the glamorous wealthy widow whose nightmares of sexual slavery somehow envelop her. Amanda is the story of five women and how the power of love – the one constant in all their lives – changes everything they think they know, challenges everything they believe to be right.
