Giovanna’s parents have died--and they've disinherited her. When she finds a photo of herself as a newborn in the arms of another woman, she leaves Naples for Lido Ligure.

In Lido Ligure, Vito and Marisella are getting married, Saro and Giuseppina are in love and business for Vito and Sofia is booming. Everything seems perfect--until they’re forced to face the injustices of a prejudiced world.

While Giovanna tries to get closer to the truth about her mother, feelings develop between her and Franco. Thanks to Saro, Marisella wins her family’s support. Saro’s attention, however, makes Giuseppina jealous.

Despite the attempts of Calligaris to close the case, the investigation into Vito's murder seems to come to a turning point.

Giovanna has finally found her mother and is determined to discover the truth about what happened to the woman 20 years earlier. When she asks Franco for help, he declares his love for her and asks her for a second chance.

Saro manages to get the warrant to arrest his brother's killer. The capture of the man, however, only deepens the mystery of Vito's murder. In a racist and corrupt system, it is not easy to know who to trust to find the truth.
