A time of poverty and inequality, when honor had no social class. It could easily be feudal Japan, but it’s the Caribbean. Instead of swords, they use machetes.

In 1930's Puerto Rico (as now), Americans are buying everything. And when they can't get what they want, they take it. When Jr. Walker wants Pura for his wife, he sends his men to kidnap her. What he didn't know was that Pura already has a husband, Juan Encarnación, once the most feared foreman, and a daughter, Patria.

Encarnación, with Patria on his back, will take on all of Jr. Walker's villains to get her back. Including old rivals, from a fateful strike in the cane field. For her part, Pura is seduced by Celia who shows her the riches she could enjoy if she accepts Jr.’s offer.

In the end, they will fight to keep their family and their Homeland intact.
