CHARACTERS

Paula Elgueta, a brave and tenacious 28-year-old sergeant, is on a peace mission in Equatorial Guinea. In the first chapter, she receives disturbing news about her boyfriend Hugo Reyes that awakens her curiosity and determination. Paula, intrepid and persistent, will not stop until she discovers the truth that is hidden from her. Defying the machismo in the military and showing great emotional intelligence with civilians, Paula delves into the dark secrets of the corps. However, her naivety can make her vulnerable at critical moments.

Lieutenant Alfredo Cuesta, initially destined for philosophy or psychology, followed family tradition and joined the army, discovering his passion for the profession. Like his father, General Cuesta, Alfredo represents the most modern facet of the armed forces. His friendship with Paula began indirectly, as he first met Hugo during maneuvers and they became good friends. Alfredo, a great reader with a careful language, opens up only to his closest friends. However, the friendship with the group (Lucía, Nacho, Hugo...) became complicated when Hugo, after being hailed as “Hero of Falat”, started to change negatively.

Lucía Ortega, a 38-year-old medical lieutenant, lives and breathes the military. Although she studied medicine due to family pressures, her true passion has always been military life. Firm and honest, she sometimes confuses toughness with manhood, but finds in Paula the friendship she needed to share the tough missions and training. However, when things start to go wrong, her world is shaken.

First Sergeant Nacho Moreno, 33 years old, is a somewhat cocky and macho guy, but a good partner. He has a weakness: Hugo Reyes, his best friend, who made him feel less of a bully and a better person. Excited to be assigned together to Falat, Nacho did not expect that the desert, the tortures and the betrayals would change him forever. Though he tried to process the horror he had experienced, he realized he only felt alive in the midst of the action, searching for it even when there was none. The adventure he had longed for turned into a terrifying nightmare that marked their lives forever.

At first glance, Commander Román Garrigues seems like a great guy: empathetic, kind and firm with his subordinates. With an athletic appearance that he has retained since his 20s, and wrinkles that, according to him, give him a touch of distinction. At the Bonaki base, he's known as the folksy guy who is always willing to listen and help those in trouble. However, as the series progresses, we will discover other facets of Garrigues that will surprise.

Manuel Adugu, the village teacher, survived a dark past of tragedy and loss when a human trafficking group devastated his village. His determination and grit led him to become a teacher, protecting the children of the village with fervor. However, his life takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Paula.
