Plot This story of love, heartbreak, revenge, lies, and betrayal centers on the lives of the Reyes brothers: Juan (Eduardo Yáñez), Óscar (Jorge Salinas), and Franco (Pablo Montero), who, at the grave of their younger sister, Libia (Sherlyn), swear to avenge her death.
Shortly before her demise, Libia was having a clandestine affair with the rancher Bernardo Elizondo (Carlos Bracho), a man several years her senior, from whom she had recently become pregnant. Although Bernardo claimed to truly love Libia and be willing to marry her, he never had the chance, as he died suddenly after a fall from his horse. Despair seemed to drive the young woman to take her own life upon learning of her beloved's passing.
Despite the fact that the police report states that Libia's death was a suicide, her brothers remain unconvinced. Therefore, they decide to enter the Elizondo ranch disguised as bricklayers and carpenters, intending to find out what really happened.
Upon arriving at the ranch, they discover that Bernardo was actually a married man who had hidden this truth from their sister. There they meet Bernardo's three beautiful daughters: Sofía (Adela Noriega), Sarita (Nora Salinas), and Jimena (Elizabeth Álvarez).
The three men, upon encountering the young women, decide that the best way to avenge Libia's tragic fate is to make them experience the same pain. Their initial plan is to seduce them, make them fall in love, and then abandon them heartbroken, forcing them to endure the same suffering their sister had felt before dying. Juan chooses to seduce Sofía, Óscar chooses to seduce Jimena, and Franco chooses to seduce Sarita.
Their plan becomes complicated when all three develop romantic feelings for the women. Juan becomes involved with Sofía, who is portrayed as compassionate and charitable and has experienced sexual assault and a forced marriage arranged by her family to preserve their social reputation.
Now, the three brothers will be forced to choose between fulfilling the oath of vengeance they swore at their sister's grave or surrendering to the three women who taught them the meaning of true love.
