The story is set in the late 19th century and follows Leonarda Ruán, a wealthy widow from the town of Nahuatzen who falls in love with Genaro Onchi, a young man from a humble background.

As secrets and rivalries emerge, Leonarda and Genaro fight to protect their love against the judgment and traditions of their small town.
