Seasons

Season 1 (2016)

The series begins when Doña Hilda Santana ( Catherine Siachoque), who is pregnant, receives the news of the death of her daughter Catalina "La Grande" ( Carmen Villalobos), sending her into premature labor with her second daughter, Catalina "La Pequeña" ( Carolina Gaitán). When Catalina ( Carolina Gaitán) is born, her father Albeiro Marín ( Fabián Ríos) and mother Hilda Santana fear she will share her late older sister's fate, as most of the young women in their neighborhood have historically become involved with prostitution and organized crime. In order to protect their daughter, Albeiro and Hilda paint a yellow boundary line outside of their home, forbidding Catalina from crossing it until she turns 18. Catalina then falls in love with a boy named Hernán Darío ( Juan Pablo Urrego). After witnessing an attack upon Hernán Darío by Yésica Beltrán's ( Majida Issa) bodyguards, Catalina crosses the yellow line to defend him. Hilda and Albeiro intervene to defend their daughter and are apprehended by the bodyguards. Yésica, resentful of Hilda, Albeiro, and Catalina, then orders her men to plant jewelry in Hilda's house in order to incriminate them for a crime they didn't commit. The police, by Yésica's orders, arrest Hernán Darío, Catalina, Doña Hilda, and Albeiro, incarcerating them in different prisons. Catalina is sent to an institution for juvenile girls , where she is beaten and abused by the fellow inmates and guards and nearly drowned under Yésica Beltrán's ( Majida Issa) orders. Hernán Darío is beaten and humiliated as well until Yésica and her daughter Daniela (Johanna Fadul) force him to work for them, threatening to hurt his mother, his in-laws and Catalina. Albeiro, along with fellow inmate David, plot to break out of prison in order to escape. Journalist Daniel Cerón helps Catalina and her parents escape, but Hernán Darío, convinced that Catalina is still in prison and in danger, agrees to work for Yésica's daughter Daniela.
