Many people would envy Amelia del Atore. The only child in an affluent Brazilian family, at the age of 18 years she has unlimited possibilities others can only dream about. However, all these perks come bundled with risks and life in the cross-hairs of the countless detractors. After her father stands for election to the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil, the stakes get even higher. Somebody who obviously doesn't want him to succeed attempts a series of attacks, one of which targets Amelia. Disturbed parents suggest she leave for Europe, away from the danger, causing Amelia to suspect they are not being sincere with her regarding the events of the present as well as the past that cast a shadow on their family. Confused and overwhelmed, she decides to break all bonds with her old life and start a brand new one in order to gain back the ground under her feet. However, the unresolved mystery continues haunting her no matter how far she runs. In an attempt to find the answers, with the help of her only trusted friend, Amelia stirs the hornet's nest.
