She has a job taking care of a wealthy widow who is very fond of her and finances her dreams. She meets handsome Gustavo at the prestigious school but is soon embroiled in troubles at home with the death of her mother and brother in the hands of a wealthy family. She vows and sets out to avenge their deaths taking on a second identity, unknowing that it may cost her the loss of Gustavo's love.
