La Victoria is a small town that may be very well described as a "green hell"; where the ways of the jungle is law, fed by the greed awakened by emeralds. The Guerrero family will arrive there thinking that they could escape the violence of the city they have been victims. Alejandro Guerrero, father of Ricardo, Eduardo and Olga Guerrero, are forced to live in this distant place, where the emerald bonanza generates blood and violent episodes that are repeated from one generation to the next.
