Luna and her father, Mário (Murilo Rosa), were abandoned by her mother, Helena (Flávia Alessandra), in Mexico when she was four years old. Helena crossed the border to the United States, promising to earn money and never returned. Kyra was about to marry Rafael.
Alexia, Luna and Kyra are convinced to use their new identities to infiltrate in their real lives. Alexia gets a job as Rafael's secretary in order to keep him away from his ex, Renatinha (Juliana Alves), who takes advantage of Kyra's fake death to get him back. Kyra works as a nanny for Alan so that Ignário (Otávio Augusto), Alexia's grandfather who has Alzheimer's disease, does not forget about his granddaughter. Luna infiltrates the life of her mother, who married a millionaire and is now a powerful businesswoman. Luna works as her assistant and will try to find out why she abandoned her.
