Synopsis
In 1975, three young reporters and a priest are investigating criminal acts tied to Gumersindo Montenegro – a rising politician with a bright future. His acts of revenge will forever change their lives – and his. 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. Haunted by a past that ties them together and yet also tears them apart, their story touches many others, linked by passion, revenge, intrigue, and fate. 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. It is the story of how love, in the end, truly conquers all.
