Synopsis[]
Ari and Brisa grew up together on the banks of Lençóis Maranhenses. He is the son of Núbia, a local merchant who used her savings to give him an education. Ari graduated in Architecture and, encouraged by Dante, his teacher and mentor, dedicates himself to defending the historical heritage of Maranhão. Brisa, on the other hand, grew up as an orphan and became a determined and fighting woman who pulsates the culture of her state: she dances in the Tambor de Crioula circles and performs at Bumba Meu Boi.
Ari and Brisa have been living together for a few years, have a son Tonho and are about to make their marriage official. The idea seems simple, were it not for the opportunity for Ari to travel to Rio de Janeiro, where he will be able to investigate the construction company Guerra, which is planning to demolish a historic mansion in São Luís to build a shopping center, a project that he is determined to fight along with professor Dante.
Brisa agrees to postpone the wedding, but Ari takes too long and gives less and less news. Worried, she decides to go after him. At the São Luís bus station, about to board, Brisa finds herself in the middle of a big mess: people accuse her of being a child kidnapper. This is a deep fake: a video was irresponsibly edited and the criminal's face was changed to Brisa's. The material goes viral on the internet and, from that moment on, changes the young woman's life.
Oto, a hacker who is in São Luís on a secret mission, is scared by the people's inflamed spirits, since there are policemen and reporters in the place. As he leaves, he can't imagine the surprise he's carrying in the trunk of his car: Brisa. There's a mood of distrust and mutual dislike in the air. And a high attraction potential too, although neither of them is aware of it yet. Together, with all the tension in place, they head to their final destination, Rio de Janeiro.
In Rio de Janeiro, Ari meets the young Chiara and his horizons expand to a new world. He loves Brisa, but he also wants to experience the possibilities that are arising. Spoiled and manipulative and used to having everything she wants, Chiara is the daughter of Guerra, owner of the construction company that wants to destroy the historic mansion in São Luís. Ari thinks he has everything under control and that, by approaching the young woman, he will learn more about the company he wants to investigate. However, his relationship with Chiara begins to go beyond flirting.
Meanwhile, Brisa faces enormous problems. Before being surprised by the lynching crowd, she tells Ari that she is going to meet him in Rio, but suddenly stops giving news. At first, he worries and later suffers from her disappearance and is tormented by the guilt of wanting Chiara. But time passes, conflicting information gains space and he ends up letting himself be carried away by the attraction he feels for the heiress of Guerra and the new possibilities that are emerging.
