The infamous Guadalupe has died. Upon his death, his massive inheritence of successful companies, properties, lands, and servants is to fall to his next of living kin, his nephew, Mateo (who never met his deceaced uncle). However, when Mateo leaves his factory life at the behest of Diego, one of Guadalupe's many lawyers, to tour the village compound it becomes apparent that the man who bequeathed Mateo a fortune was indeed a monster. Having employed brutes and traffickers in running his estates and businesses, Guadalupe's former harem of women and children grasp onto Mateo, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of inheritence roulette. Can Mateo keep his principles? And even if he does, can he survive the powerful thugs and corrupt businessmen that helped build Guadalupe's nefarious empire?
