[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Set in Acapulco, this love story features Marina, a beautiful, sweet young woman who makes a living driving a tourist boat. Her simple life transforms when her mother dies unexpectedly and she inherits a large family fortune. Marina moves into an elegant mansion owned by the wealthy Alarcón Morales family, who treat her with evil, scorn and rejection.

This humble girl is abruptly immersed into a world of rich, superficial people, who live lives of luxury, intrigue and vengeance. She finds love with the man she least expects: Ricardo Alarcón, a handsome young man who has ambition beyond spending her family's fortune.

Later, when her child is taken away from her, Marina falls into depression, anguish and despair. She fights to be reunited with the son that everyone believes is dead. Recovering her offspring becomes a test of this mother's passion, perserverance and bravery.
