Seeking a more lucrative and less degrading career, Victor flies to Colombia for a visit. There, he falls in love with Marisol, a single mother and talented botanist struggling to raise a teenage son and to save her family’s flower plantation from the man who murdered her father. When his brother involves him in a smuggling scheme involving Marisol’s prized lilies, Victor must choose between attaining his dream of wealth and privilege and the love he never thought he deserved.
