Set in 1920s Venezuela during the unyielding dictatorship of General Juan Vicente Gómez, this historical drama chronicles the epic rural exodus toward the state of Zulia following the monumental eruption of the "El Barroso II" oil well. As thousands of impoverished families abandon their fields, three men—Benito, Asisclo, and Rafael—lead their families into the lawless frontier of the Campamento La Rosa. The promise of industrial wealth quickly fractures their domestic lives; the social upheaval triggers a devastating extramarital affair as Benito's wife, Isabel, engages in explicit infidelity, while a parallel forbidden romance develops when young Amanda is drawn into a highly coercive relationship weaponized by a powerful local oil boss. These deep personal betrayals mirror the wider moral decay of a nation selling its soul to foreign industry.
