The series stars María Sorté and Leonardo Daniel in a story centered on identity swap and organ trafficking. María Soler, an actress escaping an abusive marriage, meets Alejandra Monasterio, a wealthy woman dying of terminal cancer. When they discover they are identical strangers, Alejandra persuades María to assume her identity and care for her young son after her death. As María navigates her new life, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy involving organ trafficking, deception, and buried family secrets.
