In the 1970s, prominent socialite Ângela Diniz divorces her wealthy husband and quickly finds herself embroiled in a custody battle over their young daughter.
After moving to Rio de Janeiro, Ângela faces difficulties moving through society without a husband, but manages to make a name for herself amid a new social scene.
Accused of drug trafficking, Ângela begins a romance with columnist Ibrahim Sued, but soon finds herself attracted to businessman Doca Street.
After her lawyer advises her to settle down to better her chances at custody, Ângela pursues Doca – who soon becomes jealous of every man and woman in his new partner's life.
After a heartfelt plea, Ângela finds herself back with Doca in the resort town of Búzios, but his controlling behavior continues to plague their relationship – and is exacerbated when a group of friends arrive in town.
1979. Doca's trial is met with support, condemnation, and a media fervor that takes Brazil by storm. Later, Ângela’s loved ones use their anger to start a movement aimed at changing laws that protect abusers.
