It is recorded in Portugal and Brazil with some scenes also recorded in Madrid. Plot Season 1 (2017) "Jorge Monforte" (Diogo Morgado) is a Brazilian entrepreneur, owner of the Ouro Verde (Brazil) empire, one of the world leaders in the agricultural market. It has just acquired a significant stake in Banco Brandão Ferreira da Fonseca (BBFF), a family-owned company led by the powerful Portuguese banker "Miguel Ferreira da Fonseca" (Luís Esparteiro), winning a seat on the institution's board of directors. The novelty is not well received in the family of the banker, who suspect the real intentions of that foreigner. Jorge Monforte is the new identity of Zé Maria Magalhães , who was killed 15 years ago and who is now returning to take justice for the death of his family. João Magalhães (Paulo Pires), his father, was BBFF's chief financial officer when a scandal involving the bank broke out in a complicated scheme of fraud and misappropriation of capital. John is used as a scapegoat when accused of the coup. It begins to be investigated and his name is smeared in the newspapers. To defend himself, "John" threatens "Miguel", assuring that he will denounce all the dirty schemes of the bank if they do not get him out of that situation, and "Miguel" realizes that, alive, he is a time bomb. This results in a murderer being sent to his house to fake a suicide. It turns out that his family, who had already left by chance, surprise the killer and ends up dead, with the exception of Zé Maria who, miraculously, survives.
