Don Pedro José Donoso has everything he wants in life: money, status, power, and people who love him. On his 67th year, he marries a beautiful young woman, Isabel Arroyo. His only daughter, Angela, suspects something wrong with Isabel at once, but everyone around her seems to see Isabel as a loving, young woman. The truth is, Isabel is greedy and deceitful. Her lover, Andres Corona, is Don Pedro's assistant, a young man that Don Pedro has treated like a son. Don Pedro has been having strange dreams about a strong young peasant performing heavy farm work. He dies of a heart attack a short time after getting married, and the young farmer he kept dreaming of, Salvador, also dies within hours. Don Pedro José's spirit refuses to give up and enters the young farmer's body as it is being carried to the cemetery. When he breaks out of the coffin and is brought to a medical facility no one can explain what happened. He gradually learns that the reason for this strange phenomenon is to learn the truth about what has been going on under his nose and behind his back. He goes back to his hacienda to work there. Now he learns that he may not have had a perfect life after all. As Salvador, he finds out who among his people are the loyal ones, and who are the ones putting on a masquerade. He then sets out to get what is rightly his back, and also have his revenge. |
