Synopsis

Mirando Zapata is a businessman and industrial footwear, a husband, and father of two beautiful daughters. He is married to Ruby.

Miranda, Mirando's older daughter, gets involved with Martin Martinez, a typical child of Daddy and Mommy, who does not have to make any efforts to get what he wants. What Martin does not know is that Ruby, the love of his life, is Miranda's stepmother.

Martin's parents have always been distant with him, leaving his upbringing in the hands of Teresa, his nanny, and her husband Rafael. It was from Rafael, who is party musician, that Martin got his love of music and dance.

Martin is a waste of birth, no effort need to see the light of the world through a caesarean section, but the fault is not to be because the women around him have not allowed him to take charge of your life.
