As this Colombian series opens we see a couple, Simón and Valeria, driving at night time; something happens and they crash. We then flash back and see Valeria finishing a marathon, as she crosses the line she is photographed by Camilla. Camilla is engaged to Zacarías, a powerful man, and has a weak heart. When she gets a call saying she can get a transplant she is surprised as she was low on the list. It turns out Zacarías has arranged to have Valeria kidnapped and murdered for her heart! When he learns what happened to his wife Simón is determined to find out who was behind the murder. Camilla has no idea where her heart came from but events bring her and Simón together and when she learns the details of Valeria's murder she starts to question where her heart came from. The search for the truth will make dangerous enemies. If this weren't enough Zacarías is working for the man who could be the next president of Colombia... making a man who dates young twins, dubbed 'Fast' and 'Furious', appear family friendly might not be easy.
If you are after something gritty this might sound just the thing; however that might lead to disappointment even though there are some good tense scenes. If you enjoy a bit of melodrama this is a lot of fun. There are plenty of convenient coincidences, delightfully over the top villains and more than a touch of romance. There is no real mystery; from the start we know who killed Valeria and why. The drama is seeing how the search for the truth will affect those trying to discover the truth and expose it as well as Camilla's moral dilemma when she learns she has Valeria's heart. The acting is solid enough; occasionally it feels like overacting but that isn't too out of place in something this melodramatic. Many plot threads are wrapped up at the end of the first season but enough are left open for the promised second season.
