She refuses to marry Igor (Ricardo Macchi), the groom who was chosen for her by her father Jairo (Paulo José) and mother Lola (Eliane Giardini). Her younger sister has feelings for Igor, but he only has eyes for Dara and fights for her love. Dara falls for an engaged businessman she meets online - Júlio Falcão (Edson Celulari).
