The story follows Ana Tramel, a brilliant criminal lawyer who is going through one of the worst moments of her life after the death of her brother Alejandro, accused of murdering the director of a casino. Convinced of his innocence, Ana decides to confront a powerful company in the gambling sector, initiating an unequal legal battle that will force her to emotionally rebuild while uncovering a network of corruption, manipulation, and addiction.

With its mix of legal tension and personal evolution, the fiction offers a portrait of resistance and redemption against a system that seems designed for the powerful to always win.
