In the case of true love, the soul is given to the other long before the body. 
Carolina suffers the terrible and gruesome murder of her father in circumstances surrounded by mystery, intrigue and danger.  The young Detective Nicolás Valdés is drawn into a centuries old battle between two allies become foes.  Together Carolina and Nicolás fight against the killers who lurk in the shadows, while they grow ever more drawn to each other in a web of repressed desire.  They pursue a hidden secret that could change the world, and for which many are prepared to kill. 
Nothing is as it seems, and who will live and who will die in this struggle is uncertain.  Some pursue power and some pursue truth, and some, the lucky few, find love.
