Plot

As a baby, Amy was rescued from the sea by Captain Matías and his wife Perla. While out at sea aboard one of Matías' ships, the three of them were surprised by a heavy storm. During the chaos, Perla slipped off the deck and fell into the sea, leaving Amy and Matias on their own. Since then, Matías became afraid of the sea to the point that he never went fishing again. Over time, Amy has grown up to be a mischievous and daring girl who works to help support her father because he doesn't have a proper job, and everything is going well in her life until the arrival of Minerva, who is looking for orphans for the San Felipe orphanage under the orders of Prefect Carlota, who needs more children to keep receiving donations. Carlota has never loved the orphans and uses the donations to achieve her own goal: to have the largest jewelry collection in the world. As a child, Minerva was a victim of Carlota, who stole her childhood. Since then, Minerva is a bitter woman and her childhood has turned into a ghost girl who cries locked in the highest tower of the orphanage castle waiting for the day when someone can rescue her. Raúl arrives in Puerto Esperanza since his father was transferred to fix up an abandoned locomotive called "La Vieja Lola". Raúl meets Amy and believes she is a boy, due to her dressing like a sailor, but later learns that she is actually a girl and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Octavio Betancourt, a millionaire suffering from a serious illness, arrives in town with the desire to find his son who was lost 8 years ago. What Octavio doesn't know is that he actually had a daughter, and it's Amy. A short time later, Minerva manages to take Amy to San Felipe, leaving everyone sad and greatly missing her. Upon arriving at the orphanage, Amy discovers that her mission is to fight against Carlota's evil, and thus rescue the orphans and Minerva herself; but Amy is not alone: she has her friend Coral, a Mermaid who guides her along the way, towards the "five paths of light".
