Plot
The plot revolves around the murder of Mexico's president, Diego Nava Martinez (Erik Hayser). On the night of his death, he attacks his wife, Emilia Urquiza (Kate del Castillo), in an abusive rage. The two struggle, and Emilia is eventually knocked unconscious. She wakes up to find that Diego is dead, his bloody body cast off the balcony of their hotel room. A gun she aimed at him in the midst of their encounter is in her hand, even though she had left it in the bedroom. This leads her to believe that someone else came into the room to kill Diego, then set her up to take the fall. So, she flees from the police.
***
Emilia Urquiza is the first lady of Mexico and has great plans to improve the conditions of the country thanks to her commitment to fight for peace. As Emilia begins to lose faith in her husband, President Diego Nava, she is at a crossroads and will have to find a way to deal with a big challenge and discover the truth.
