One of the most exclusive areas of Lima, "Las Lomas", is shaken up by the arrival of the Gonzales family from Huamanga, Ayacucho. The family settled in an inherited, half-built house. Their peasant traditions infuriate the neighbors, especially the family living opposite them, the Maldinis. The Maldinis are the richest family in all Las Lomas but they still cannot find a way to get rid of the newcomers. Amid this confrontation, the Ferrands, another neighboring family, befriend the newcomers.
Fernanda De Las Casas, daughter of the Maldinis, falls in love with one of the Gonzales, Joel, and they form a relationship, but the two families do not accept it since Fernanda is rich and Joel is poor. After they escape together, the family puts Joel in jail and sends Fernanda to Boston. In Boston, she falls in love with someone else called Mike, who is also rich and returns with her to Lima. Meanwhile, Grace (Joel's sister) falls in love with Fernanda's brother Nicolas, with whom she has a very good friendship. But he has a girlfriend called Cayetana Bogani, a spoiled and wealthy girl who treats her badly because she is poor. Meanwhile Cayetana's brother Gianfranco falls in love with Grace and is determined to win her love. At the same time, Fernanda, Mike, Nicolás and Cayetana try to set Mia (Fernanda's best friend) up with Gianfranco.
Miguel Ignacio De Las Casas divorces from Isabella Picasso because she finds out that he is cheating on her with his secretary. During the divorce process, Isabella falls in love with her lawyer Mariano Pendavis (the former fiancé of Francesca). However, he has a girlfriend and is shocked when he finds out that Isabella is in love with him. This leads to Isabella going away for a holiday in Abu Dhabi, trying to follow in the footsteps of the Sex and the City story, and falls in love with somebody called Leonardo. She thinks he is perfect but he is hiding a secret involving Claudia (the secretary of "Constructora De Las Casas"). Meanwhile, Miguel Ignacio refuses to sign the divorce papers and is then fired from his position as General Manager when he is caught cheating on Isabella with his maid Gladys. Francesca (the owner of ("Constructora De Las Casas") then hires Mike as General Manager. Nicolás mishears the conversation between Francesca and Peter (the butler) about the position and assumes that they are going to give the position to him. When he finds out that the position is for Mike, he is infuriated and leaves the house.
When Peter discovers that Claudia is manipulating Mike and convinces him to leave Fernanda, Claudia kidnaps Peter, shoots him in the chest and leaves him for dead. Claudia attempts to flee the country with money embezzled from the company but is spotted by Mike at the airport, who is also leaving after his attempts to win back Fernanda fail. Having heard of Peter's plight, Mike prevents Claudia from boarding the plane and she is subsequently arrested. While Peter is recovering in hospital, Francesca overhears Peter in his sleep and under the effects of anesthesia saying that he has always loved her.

Soon everybody finds out because Gilberto, Nelly's husband, accidentally tells her and she tells the whole family because she is determined to make Francesca look bad. At the same time, Grace and the newly-changed Cayetana are planning Gianfranco's (Grace's boyfriend that she is convinced will make her forget about Nicolas) birthday which is sought out to be huge. While Cayetana seems to have changed, she plans the party as a trap for Grace and Nicolas (who returns to being her boyfriend after learning that she "changed") that when they dance together she reveals Grace's love for Nicolas and then pours a large amount of mud on them, embarrassing them in front of all the high society guests at the party.
