 Fernanda San Vicente is a sweet and beautiful young woman who suffers a complete transformation in her personality upon discovering her lover's betrayal and her father's murder on the night of her wedding. As a result, Fernanda flees to the hacienda she inherited from her father; now impenetrable and filled with an immense resentment toward all men, she vows to rule over the hacienda and the town itself.
She is accompanied by her ambitious cousin Federico who had engineered
several illegal business dealings using her family's resources and her
envious cousing Marilinda, who had been having an affair with
Fernanda's fiancée Mariano. Having arrived, they meet Aquiles Hurtado,
the barbaric oversees of the hacienda in order to get what he wants.
Still, Fernanda rules the area with an iron hand... until the moment
she meets Arturo Gallardo, the only man capable of battling Fernanda
for a stretch of land on the beach. Ultimately, Arturo and Fernanda
fall victim to their own feelings, and the competition between them
turns into a true story of love. But the love between Arturo and
Fernanda represents a terrible threat to those who would take
possession of Fernanda's land. Driven by greed, Marilinda, Federico,
and Aquiles enlist the aid of Fernanda's mother Cristina, a woman who
had abandoned her daughter years before and who had returned to the
area after spending all of her money. Sergio, Cristina's young and
ambitious lover, is included in their plans to destroy Arturo and
Fernanda at all costs. But in the end, it is destiny that decides their
fate and love that proves Defiant.
