In Macau, China, Liu (Jui Huang) stole 1 billion euros from a casino, not knowing it belonged to the Chinese mafia, through a digital transaction in which the data was recorded on a flash drive. Pursued, he flees to Portugal and the device ends up in the suitcase João (Ricardo Pereira), who is moving to Brazil, causing Liu to also have to travel to Brazil to try to recover it. Liu goes to live in Parque das Nações, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, where he falls in love with the martial arts fighter Flor de Lys (Bruna Marquezine), but the two have to face Wu (Anderson Lau), a Chinese mercenary and Liu's cousin, who also wants the money and put an end to the hacker. There is also Stelinha (Fernanda Rodrigues), who returns to Brazil after years living in Asia, where she joined another Chinese faction that also wants fortune, in addition to rivaling Flor on the mat.
Meanwhile, João falls in love with Lívia (Grazi Massafera), who struggles to raise her son Théo (Eike Duarte) on her own, the result of a troubled marriage with Heitor (Fábio Assunção), whose mothers Luli (Eliana Rocha) and Suzete (Yoná Magalhães) tormented the two until they separated. After Heitor is murdered for finding out about the flash drive, Lívia starts to live a romance with João, but is also harassed and persecuted by the psychotic Ramiro (Rodrigo Mendonça).
