Synopsis
“And just like that… the first domino falls.” At Altura, summer brings the heat... and the past you thought you left behind. Five years after she swore she’d never come back, Adriana Santos returns to the block that raised her and to the man who never left it. Yael Cruz still carries the weight of one choice that shattered them both. But when her dying grandfather forces them to work together, old wounds resurface demanding to felt. What starts off as simmer turns into a fire leaving them exposed to their truth. Porque donde hubo fuego, las cenizas siempre quedan. And as the summer heat rises, so do the stakes, because the last game has just begun. Porque nadie termina hasta el último capicú.
