ynopsis

Raul Fuentes, a violent police officer who works in Vigo is placed on unpaid leave after he has beaten, Moncho Tristan, the son of a local drug trafficker. Mazueras, a snitch from the drug mafia ring, tells Raul that members of the drug clan are looking for him to kill him. Mazueras strikes a deal with Raul. He would give him some documents that prove the involvement of the Tistran family in drug trafficking and prostitution if Raul reveals the story after he has left the country. Raul rejects the deal violently. He decides to leave the incident on hold and travels to Alicante where his family lives.

Raul's visit, the first in two years, takes his family by surprise. His strange father, Jose, is not thrilled to see his son, who has always been cold towards him. Olga, Jose’s wife, has always been secretly in love with his stepson who she had met even before she met her now husband. Raul is not close to his family with the only exception of his twin brother Valentin, who is mentally disabled and is the opposite of his brother: sweet, soft and well liked by everyone. When Raul finds out that his brother is working in a nightclub and has falling in love with one of the prostitutes he gets very upset and follows him.In Lolitas’s club he meets, Milena, the prostitute that is his brother love interest.
