In the year 1519, the Mayan priest Ahzac discovers that his daughter, Ixmy, has given herself to the love of a white man; she was destined to be sacrificed as a gift to the gods along with some gifts made of gold and with a black pearl of similar size. The maiden, having avoided her fate, invokes Ahzac's fury, who then invokes a curse upon the black pearl, saying, " Whoever has this pearl in their possession will never be able to know what happiness is!"
In 1987, the investigators Eliseo Barvo and Hernan Lazcano go exploring underwater in the coral reefs of Cozumel and make a surprising discovery: they find the black pearl that was lost for many years at the bottom of the sea. Once the pearl is touched by Hernan, Ahzac's curse takes effect. The pearl wakes the greed in Eliseo, who provokes the death of his partner Hernan, thus leaving Hernan's wife, Analy, and their newborn daughter, Aymar, alone.
Eliseo Bravo
returns to Veracruz
with the gold and black pearl but the curse makes its effect. And soon,
his wife María Teresa leaves him with three children of them, namely David,
Nicolás and Leonardo. Eliseo recovers from the fate trick and establishes his
own landed property 'El Paraíso'.
Twenty years pass and Eliseo thinks of handing the real
estate to the management of one of his sons. David shows no concern about the
farm and the real estate. The third son, Leonardo is too melancholic and
sensitive. And Eliseo sets high hopes upon Nicolás only who grows to be the
perfect lawyer. Nicolás always supports his father and Eliseo believes he can
rely upon him.
Nevertheless, the pearl has to show it effect and things
happen.
Aymar, the heir to the maya culture, grows to be a beautiful
young woman. She meets Nicolás and falls in love with him. Maura Durán, a
sensitive and ambitious woman, weaves her ties of lie and intrigues to seize
the fortune of Bravo. Maura tries all her best to seduce all three brothers and
provokes them to compete. She involves Aymar in her intrigues, totally
affecting people concerned in life and business of the Bravo.
Nicolás and Aymar never give up and they keep their love to
each other in spite of obstacles and intrigues made by Maura and the curse of
the black pearl. They do everything to prove that love is able to overdo
barriers of time and eveil for the sake of purity and trust.
