## Plot summary

Isabel Montalbán (Claudia Álvarez) is a beautiful woman from the big city, who suffers from a serious lung problem, and goes to live in a small town, in search of rest. In her new residence live the parents and the brothers of her husband, Aníbal Otero (Diego Olivera). What no one could imagine is that the young woman's presence would change the fate of the family, forever.
Sergio (Horacio Pancheri) and Daniel (Cristián de la Fuente) are the brothers of Aníbal. Immediately, both feel a strong attraction for the young woman. Sergio is a quiet and sensible man, working as a doctor and always willing to take care of Isabel's health. On the other hand, Daniel is a handsome and savage man; he is the freest of his brothers and lives life with intense passion. He falls madly in love with his sister-in-law, but he knows he must renounce this forbidden love. On the farm of the Otero family, Don Arturo (César Évora), the patriarch of the family, is a kind and affectionate gentleman, and Dona Amparo (Daniela Romo), his wife, is a controlling and arrogant lady.
Isabel's drama begins when she feels that her marriage is failing, since Aníbal only cares about the family's business and money, and grows more distant from his wife. Isabel realizes that she is falling in love with Daniel and Sergio, but feels that she must fight to save her marriage and avoid a serious conflict in the family.
