In 1985 Mexico City, a catastrophic earthquake buries thousands. A doctor with a dark past, a journalist chasing fame, and a family in distress risk their lives in rescue attempts. Their efforts become chances to change their own lives.
Twenty-four hours have passed since Dr. Ángel was trapped under the rubble, and no one knows anything about him. Rescue efforts remain paralyzed by the government. Pepín and the students join the volunteers at the collapsed CONALEP, while Camila uncovers a dark secret involving the military. Meanwhile, the imminent aftershock looms as an increasingly pressing threat.
