[edit] Synopsis
Fire in the Blood is the story of three brothers, Juan, Oscar and Franco Reyes who, before the tomb of their sister Libia, swear to revenge her death. Libia died in strange circumstances after finding out her future husband, Bernardo Elizondo, is dead and was married while he had a relationship with Libia. In order to fulfill their oath, the brothers go to the property of the Elizondo family in order to take revenge; but instead after an unexpected confrontation with Don Agustin Acevedo, the father-in-law of Bernardo they are obliged to build a house inside the Elizondo family properties something that comes to their advantage in terms of their revenge.
With the purpose of investigating the person who caused the death of Libia, they began to work on the house (taking the place of the real workers) and soon they meet the three daughters of Bernardo Elizondo: Sofia, Sarita and Jimena as well as the conservative Gabriela Acevedo, Bernardo's former wife.
This encounter changes the course of the brothers' revenge. They decide that instead of committing a crime that harms them in the end, they are better off seducing the sisters then leaving them so that they live in their own misery, similar to Libia's suffering. The oldest brother Juan will seduce Sofia, Oscar will seduce Jimena and Franco will seduce Sarita.
But the tables are turned when the brothers discover the sisters' different facets and begin falling in love with the sheltered girls. Juan will find in Sofia a sensible and charitable woman, whose life has denied her the possibility of being happy because of a trauma (she was raped) and forced to marry Fernando to not cause the family any shame; according to her mother. Juan and Sofia have very strong confrontations that will cause them both to fall in love with one another. But Fernando not ready to lose his wife, and with his possessive and cruel personality, causes many rifes not only between Juan and Sofia, but among all character in the Telenovela.
Oscar will find in Jimena his other half. She is an elegant girl whose one desire is to live a life that corresponds to a girl of her age. They will establish a full relationship based on sensuality and eroticism. Irrevocably, they will fall in love with each other.
Franco and Sarita are most likely the hardest couple to actually come together. Both sensible, loving souls who enjoy reading poetry and other literature, their naivete will allow them to live a very tender love, full of unforeseen expenses and mix-ups because of Rosario Montes, a singer who maintained a strange relation with Franco years ago and with whom Franco is still very much in love with. Franco will have to decide between both relationships. Problems arise from issues dealing with Sarita's conservative nature and, also, from Fernando, who has been keeping Rosario as his on-the-side lover by threatening her with the disappearance of Rosario's child.
Also on the subplots the viewer will keep track of Eva, a housemaid of the Elizondo family who was in love with Bernardo, despite Bernardo not remembering their only night of passion which resulted in a child. Her job is to hold on to all the uncomfortable secrets that surround the family. Don Agustin, the grandfather of the Elizondo children who is in a wheelchair and a bit insane, always keeps plotting against Gabriela, his daughter. And Padre Tadeo, the priest of the town who begins to know every secret from the past through his confessional booth and who tries in vain to solve issues beyond his control.
They will go through many situations, many confrontations, encounter and mix-ups which result painful for the Reyes brothers who must chose to free themselves of the oath that they made to Libia and be with the women whom they love in spite of everything.
