The story deals with the lives of five young friends, Brenda, Olivia, Violeta, Renata and Pamela, who live in the fictional Colombian town of "El Carmen." Throughout the series, they become further and further embroiled in inextricable situations because of their involvement with drug king-pin, Braulio Bermudez (Pablo Escobar), his family and his lieutenants. Bermudez, played by the veteran Columbian actor, Fernando Solórzano, is a "capo" operating out of "El Carmen."

The five young women all come to sad endings at the end of the story.

Pamela migrates to the United States in an effort to escape troubles and to be closer to her father, a pilot who was imprisoned after being apprehended by the DEA for smuggling cocaine into the country. Despite finding employment as a maid, Pamela communicates to Brenda that she is content and enjoying her life.

Olivia ends up in jail for having a fake wedding with the notorious Braulio Bermudez, and acquiring some of his property.

Violeta dies when, after Braulio's local cartel breaks into opposing factions, they meet for a final show-down in the ongoing war between them.

Renata also dies because, to repay money she owed him, Erick, a former henchman of Braulio, forces her to carry drugs to the United States in her stomach. None of her loved ones ever find out about her death because she has no identification on her person.

Brenda ends up carrying Braulio's child, but he is captured, extradited and sent to a US prison, so that she never sees him again.

This is a very exciting story to see and it shows how the easy life is never a good choice; it might be nice and easy at the beginning but one day everything ends.
