Plot

Otávio is a thriving cattle breeder in Mato Grosso do Sul. And he falls in love with Maria, a young woman from the big city. The two marry, Maria will live on the farm next to her husband, have a baby and then suffer postpartum depression. To be treated, she embarks on a therapeutic ship, created by the alternative doctor Dr. Décio. Maria returns to her husband's farm, but is kidnapped along with her son, Tavinho. Otávio decides to start life with another identity, but he does not go to great lengths to find the family. He discovers that the kidnapping has to do with a criminal organization led by Big Blond, and goes on to investigate the crime. Only time passes and, without enduring the weight of the disappearance of his loved ones, the farmer goes into depression. Dr. Decio then receives an anonymous email saying that they will both find news of Maria inside a mysterious ship. His brother-in-law, Martim, connected to Big Blond, also embarks on the same cruise and insists on accusing Otavio of his sister's disappearance. The transatlantic berths in Búzios and Martim meets with members of the Organization. Suspicious, Otávio and Décio follow the trickster and end up kidnapped. At sea, Martim ends up dying and the farmer adopts his identity to restart his life. There begins a game of mirrors, in which the hero wears the mask of the villain and the villain pretends to be a hero.^[3]
