At the end of the 1970s, Josep Buron and Gil Salabreda are two ambitious economics students, entrepreneurial and full of ideas. The first comes from a wealthy family; the second, from humble origins.

But an irreparable fault between Josep Buron and Gil Salabreda, an original sin, will ignite a chain of betrayals, jealousy, abuse, revenge, murder, and incest that will spread like a biblical plague among their descendants.
