The story of two half brothers who do not know they are such, who fight over a woman and nearly kill each other. One of them belongs to Los Gavilanes, a group of men who live live hidden and looting to give to the poor. Revenge, love and hate will at the end bring out the truth and everyone will get what he deserves.
