## Plot

In her childhood Angélica (Day Mesquita) was rejected by her father for being the result of an affair and abandoned by her mother. She was abused by older men, grew up in a miserable and loveless life and resorts to prostitution under the name of Poderosa to sustain herself. Her father is millionaire Ramiro (Juan Alba), owner of Bras Talentos Esportivos, an important company that provides agency for soccer players and trainers in the country. Ramiro is in need of a kidney transplant or else he will die. His legitimate children, Tobias (Thiago Rodrigues) and Fernanda (Bárbara França), are incompatible so he decides to look for his bastard daughter in the hope that she will be a donor, which irritates Tobias, who does not want to share the inheritance, counting on the help of Bernardo (Heitor Martinez) and Leandro (Gabriel Gracindo) to eliminate Angélica before and guarantee the death of his father. After almost being killed, Angélica is saved by Miguel (Rafael Sardão), an honest farmer from Mogi das Cruzes who works in the Municipal Market, flourishing a troubled romance, since she does not trust anyone or believes in love.
