The businessman Valdomiro Cerqueira hits a young woman named Inês with his car, causing her to lose her memory. Valdomiro is in debt to the girl, who is alone and can’t remember her past, and takes her to live in his house until the situation is stabilized. His family receives her coldly and with suspicion: his wife, Eleonor, and their three daughters, Maria Regina, Maria Antonia, and Márcia Eduarda. And what they feared ends up happening: Valdomiro’s involvement with Inês causes his separation from Eleonor and the fury of Maria Regina, who sees Inês as an intruder and a threat to the family fortune.
