Story

Death never gives back what it takes. Only sometimes change one life for other.

In a European city agitated by racial unrest, a powerful tycoon must face the only thing he cannot deceive or corrupt: death. Meanwhile, a detective tries to find the woman he loves, and, at the same time, an innocent young woman follows him with the crazy purpose of bringing her son, who has been killed in the crib by a gunman, back to life.
