 The lives of the Altamira family will change forever. Their lives will go around the events in the disappearance of Elisa, one of the daughters of the marriage between Mario Altamira and Danna Correa.
Once she disappears, we begin to learn the secrets
of every member of the family and friends; the paranoias start,
histories from the past, themes that were supposed to be buried and the
recriminations among family members start.
All these events lead us into having a long list of suspects, among
them family members (uncles, cousins, and including her parents),
fellow students, former workers of the Domínguez and several friends
that used to go to the same places she was going before disappearing
Mariano Altamira
is the ex-executor and recently he has become the brilliant entrepreneur. He
is very charismatic and his looks is perfect. As every millionaire makes the fortune
using dirty methods, Mariano has to consider many things to behave safe.
Most of his happy days in marriage with Dana relates to his sussessful
projects, trips to other places together, but his three daughters, Elisa,
Cristina and Olga, is his biggest project in his life.
Mariano celebrates his birthday in Malibu with the family
and friends. His daughter Elisa and her cousin Flor want to go to the party at
the local club.
Later, when the parents to the club to pick Elisa up home,
she is not found there. She does not pick her phone.
The family is ready for everything to have their daughter
back home. Altamira Riggs is obsessed with the investigation on finding her. Versions
on her disappearances vary from person to person saying that Elisa escaped by
herself from supervision of parents.
Mariano and Dana come with the idea to develop their own
scheme of investigation to find their daughter apart from police searches,
sometimes to go beyond the legislation.
In the course of investigation the theory of kidnapping is
considered. The second theory refers to sexual relations between Elisa and her
cousin Santiago with involvement of their relatives, Mario and Flor.
The third theory is based upon the sexual violence. Elisa is
the victim of the one who wants to satisfy personal needs.
Mariano and Dana put everything to sacrifice to know the truth
when their trust to each other, their love and family values have been under
frustration to endure and survive.
Together they go forward to the truth though it might be
thousand times tougher than they expect it.
