Upon her arrival in the United States, Marina's hopes for a better future are quickly shattered as she finds herself ensnared in the clutches of the Black Dock-an underground marketplace where the wealthy trade in human lives, including organs, slaves, and contraband goods.

Meanwhile, Agent Villarreal, driven by a personal vendetta, launches an investigation into the death of his cousin, who fell victim to the machinations of Vasily, the ruthless leader of the Russian mob.

Suspecting a connection to Coralillo, the enigmatic mastermind behind the Black Dock, Agent Villarreal dives headfirst into the murky depths of the criminal underworld.

When Aitana's path intersects with Agent Villarreal's pursuit of justice, they form an unlikely alliance fueled by their shared determination to destroy the Black Dock and seek revenge.
