A young woman of Peruvian descent born in Spain learns about her grandmother's connection to a very special friend: a skull who called "Manuelita", who has helped protect and guide her throughout a tumultuous life.

In a village in the Peruvian Andes, there lived a family that, compared to the others, possessed the greatest wealth. They were the Aragón de Peralta family. Upon their father's death, the sons Fermín and Bruno each fought for their own ideals, which differed greatly between them. Fermín was interested in acquiring vast sums of money, and one way to do so was through the mine he inherited. Bruno, on the other hand, was interested in women—yes, many women. To acquire more and more women, he took all of his father's farmers and servants. This family discord only led to chaos, which in turn allowed some shrewd individuals to exploit the situation and hatch a plan to destroy the Aragón de Peralta family. Would they succeed?
