CHARACTERS:

Andrea Abascal is a young woman ahead of her time, dreamer and idealist. Orphaned by her mother and with a little brother, Jesús, 12 years old. She lives and works with her father, Alfonso, in his place, "El Continental". Raised in the bosom of a humble family, she fights every day to get the business ahead. At a moment of great tension, Andrea is faced with the choice of taking over the business or leaving and selling it to one of the two gangs that dominate the city. She will have to fight hard to make a place for herself in a man's world.

She has more than enough character to make it.

Ricardo Leon has grown up as a child among gangsters, far from love and in a world where hatred and revenge reign. His parents were killed when he was a child and he saw it all. The gang of which he is the leader, a period gangster group, has become his only family. He goes through life with the confidence and toughness of someone who fears nothing. However, his involvement in the pub 'El Continental', run by Andrea's father, is due to a whim, because he falls in love with her when he sees her on the sly. Baena, his uncle and enemy, is the boss of the other gang that he will have to face if he wants his illegal business to succeed.
