Perspective
Abyss of Passion takes place in the town of La Ermita, located on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Elisa (Briggitte Bozzo / Angelique Boyer) is the daughter of Augusto Castañón (Alejandro Camacho) and Estefanía Bouvier de Castañón (Ludwika Paleta). She is the best friend of Damián (Robin Vega / David Zepeda), the son of Rosendo (César Évora) and Alfonsina Arango (Blanca Guerra). The kids also hang out with Gael (Diego Velázquez / Mark Tacher) and Paloma (Mariliz León / Livia Brito), two orphaned children from lower-class backgrounds.
Also living in Elisa's house is Carmina (Sabine Moussier), Estefanía's sister, a twisted woman who has been secretly in love with her brother-in-law for years. Due to his indifference, Carmina has had no qualms about becoming romantically involved with Rosendo, even though he is a married man. When Estefanía discovers the relationship between the two and that Rosendo intends to abandon his family to run away with her sister, she goes to the place where they were supposed to meet in order to try to change his mind. A fight between the two culminates in a tragic car accident that costs them both their lives. This misunderstanding, coupled with the silence of the perverse Carmina, leads the entire town to assume that Estefanía and Rosendo were lovers. Resentment drives Augusto to fall into alcoholism and marry Carmina without love, while Alfonsina's rage causes her to send her son to study abroad to separate him from Elisa, whom she has irrationally hated ever since for being the daughter of the woman she blames for her husband's death.
Years later, Damián returns to town engaged to Florencia Landucci (Altaír Jarabo), a self-interested and frivolous girl who is only after his money. Upon reuniting with Elisa, they both realize they have not forgotten each other and that the tender childhood friendship that once united them has now blossomed into a mature and mutual love. But this feeling will be forbidden, mainly due to the enmity between their respective families. Furthermore, Gael, their childhood friend, has also set his sights on Elisa over the years, unconscious of the feelings Paloma has harbored for him all along. A deep rivalry for Elisa's love will soon develop between Damián and Gael, unaware of the blood ties that unite them...
