Although heading one of the largest scientific projects in Brazil, his eccentricities and tantrums let him on the verge of being fired by his college roommate and current sponsor, Sandra. Aided by best friend - and fellow scientist - Octavius (Ceylão), Zero turns on the unfinished machine he developed that was suposed to ensure his wealth as well as a new source of sustainable energy for mankind. To his surprise, the reaction caused by the machine proves able to open a bridge to the past, leading him by the year 1991, in the traumatic night in which the beautiful Helen (Moraes) left him for popular playboy Richard (Nunes). He will then see that changing the facts can be more difficult and confusing than it sounds. Returning to an altered present, Zero learns that his younger self used his knowledge about the future to become a powerfull and corrupted businessman, even more separated from Helen.
