After a tumultuous separation and having to give up custody of their three children, famous socialite Ângela Diniz meets Raúl and thinks she has found someone who loves her free spirit as much as she does. The overwhelming attraction made the couple drop everything and live the dream of rebuilding their passion-filled lives in the beach house. But the quiet life is quickly transformed when Raúl begins to show himself as an aggressive, violent and controlling man. The relationship ends in abuse and violence, leading to one of the most famous murder cases of all time in Brazil.[5]
