Severiano Mendoza and Candela Santana are a rich and powerful marriage who live at the ranch, "Las Ánimas", along with their young son, Cristóbal. Roberta and Raymundo Alcocer also have a daughter named Aldonza; however, they do not live with the same luxuries as the Mendoza family, which causes frustration and resentment in Roberta as nothing is enough to fill the inferiority complex that follows her like a shadow.
She is in love with her past love, a priest but will need to resist the temptation. She and Severiano will stop at nothing to ruin Aldonza and Cristóbal's love, keeping them apart with their intense family rivalry.
Aldonza and Cristóbal will face many hurdles and deceptions. By the end of the story, they overcome these obstacles and continue their relationship together.
