Plot

The telenovela follows the lives of Andrés Ferreira and Brayan Galindo, who were switched at birth. Andrés, born to a poor couple, was raised by a wealthy family, while Brayan, born into wealth, was raised by a poor couple. After 30 years, the mistake is discovered, and the two adults are forced to switch places. Andrés moves in with his biological father at the pension where Brayan had lived and begins to meet his true family, while Brayan goes to live with his real mother and his new fiancée, Fernanda Sanmiguel, who is only interested in him for his wealth and is secretly having an affair with Andrés's cousin, Mateo. Brayan now owns the Ferreira family business, Mundo Express, but it is later revealed that Mateo is plotting to steal both his money and the company.
