Plot
Andrea Paz (Paulina Goto) is a 17-year-old working-class girl. Her dream is to finish school and become a lawyer. Andrea's aspirations fall apart when she learns that her father Benigno (José Elías Moreno) was run over by a car, and left in a wheelchair as a result. Abandoned by her mother, and with two brothers to support, Andréa is forced to leave everything behind and begin an adult life, work, and pay the household bills as well as support her dad. To make matters worse, her brother Damián (Adriano Zendejas) gets into drugs.
Thanks to Vittorio, a friend of the family, Andrea gets a job at Maximo's (Arturo Peniche) law firm, as the assistant of the owners' son Darío (Erick Elías). Moira (Lisette Morelos), Dario's girlfriend, does not like that Dario works with an attractive, young woman, so she convinces Maximo to fire her and hire a man. Andrea returns disguised as a man, and says that she is Andrés, her twin brother. After some time at the law firm, Máximo offers Andrea a job as a receptionist. With two jobs and two identities, Andrea has to be agile and cunning.
