But soon his resolve is tested when he meets 19 year old Angel a young thief who insists the two join up to score the biggest heist of all time. Though tempted, he resists until he finds out that his beloved wife has gone off with a millionaire and his son wants to change his last name.

She captivates Vergara and Angel, as well as all others that cross her path, drastically changing their lives.
