The telenovela based on the novel took South America by storm. Now this eagerly-awaited series comes to the United States and Mexico to embrace fans in a whirlwind of desire, passion, intrigue and tragedy.

At 13, Catalina began to associate the wealth and prosperity of the girls in her pueblo with the size of their breasts. For those who were not as endowed, like her, were destined to work very hard and earn very little doing office work or waiting tables. In turn, those veluptuous girls had the time of their lives; riding in nice cars, buying expensive clothes and being the envy of everyone around them. From then on, Catalina had only one goal, to get herself the implants that would change her life. Little did she know that her beautiful dream of salvation would become her nightmare of damnation.
