Maria de Déa, Lampião's companion and first woman in the Cangaço, is a fearless young woman who dares to have a voice in a group of outlaws. In a life of escapes and armed disputes, Maria faces a pregnancy and is subdued to the harshest law of the Cangaço: handing over her baby to be raised by someone else. She begins to live between life in the group and the hopeless desire to raise her daughter.

Three strangers' lives collide in the Amazon: Janalice, kidnapped by traffickers; Preá, a reluctant gang leader; Mariangel, seeking vengeance for her family's murder.
