Plot
Set in 1910 and inspired by real-life events, the series follows Jesús Malverde, a young man from Sinaloa, Mexico that became a legendary figure and defender of the people. Malverde had a troubled childhood as an orphan where he experienced the trials of war, danger and love as he amassed unexpected power. Over time, he becomes a Robin Hood-like heroic figure, admired by women of all social classes. However, Jesús remains tormented by his unexpected feelings for his childhood love, Isabel. As federal authorities see increasing danger in Malverde's growing power during the early days of the Mexican Revolution, it will take more than love to keep at bay all those who seek to destroy the hero known to the faithful as "The Patron Saint".
