[edit] SynopsisFuego en la Sangre is a remake of the popular Colombian soap opera, called Las Aguas Mansas and Pasión de Gavilanes. Juan, Oscar and Franco Reyes who, in front the tomb of their sister Libia, swear to avenge her death. Libia died in strange circumstances after finding out her future husband, Bernardo Elizondo, is dead and was married with three daughters while he had a relationship with her. Distraught and heartbroken by the news, she goes to a river to denounce him while her older brothers go out in the rain frantically looking for her. Fernando, Sophia's greedy and abusive husband, is also looking for her, after finding out the pregnant Libia could inherit some of Bernardo's money through her unborn son. Finding her near the river, he ambushes Libia and tries to drown her but tries to escaping so he finds the nearest tree bark and hits her head continiusly until she finally dies, leaving the corpse there and going back home unnoticed. The next morning, the police find her body in the river; the brothers are called to the site and are told it was a suicide. However, they do not believe that their sister could commit suicide because she was pregnant and vow to find their sister's killer and destroy the Elizondo family for Libia. In order to fulfill their oath, the brothers go to the property of the Elizondo family in order to take revenge; but instead, after an unexpected confrontation with Don Agustín Acevedo, the father-in-law of Bernardo, and Eva, the family's servant, they are obliged to build a house inside the Elizondo family properties and pose as construction workers, replacing the ones that had already signed up for the job. This job later comes to their advantage in terms of their revenge. With the purpose of investigating the person who caused the death of Libia, they begin to work on the house and soon they meet the three daughters of Bernardo Elizondo: Sophia, Sarita, and Jimena, as well as the cold and calculating Gabriela Acevedo, Bernardo's widow. This encounter changes the course of the brothers' revenge. They decide that instead of committing a crime that harms them in the end, they are better off seducing the sisters then leaving them so that they live in their own misery, similar to Libia's suffering. The oldest brother Juan will seduce Sophia, Oscar will seduce Jimena, and Franco will seduce Sarita.Jaun is the oldest and protector of his family which falls in love with Sophia the oldest "Elizaldo Sister" even though you later find out that Sophia is not an Elizaldo, she is the lost daughter of Eva one of the family's servants.Oscar is the outgoing brother who is the first to truly fall in love with one of the sisters, Jimena the also outgoing sister.Franco is the musician that falls in love with Sarita the conservative shy one. The tables are turned when the brothers discover the sisters' different facets and begin falling in love with the sheltered girls. Juan will find in Sophia a sensible and charitable woman, whose life has denied her the possibility of being happy because of a trauma (she was raped, unbeknown to her by Fernando) and forced to marry Fernando to not cause the family any shame; according to her mother. Juan and Sophia have very strong confrontations that will cause them both to fall in love with one another. But Fernando, who is heavily favored by Gabriela, not ready to lose his wife, and with his possessive and cruel personality, causes much rife not only between Juan and Sophia, but among all characters in the telenovela. Oscar will find in Jimena his other half. She is an elegant girl whose one desire is to live a life that corresponds to a girl of her age. Her one true wish is to fall deeply in love. She, unlike her older sisters Sophia and Sarita, is more daring and does not wish to live and die a virgin. She falls in love first, with Oscar, and marries him. They will establish a full relationship based on sensuality and eroticism. But, like her sisters, will face many problems with their mother because of the men they have fallen in love with. Franco and Sarita are most likely the hardest couple to actually come together. Both sensible, loving souls who enjoy reading poetry and other literature, their naiveté will allow them to live a very tender love, full of unforeseen expenses and mix-ups because of Rosario Montes, a singer who maintained a strange relation with Franco years ago and with whom Franco is still very much in love with. Franco will have to decide between both relationships. Problems arise from issues dealing with Sarita's conservative nature and, also, from Fernando, who has been keeping Rosario as his on-the-side lover by threatening her with the disappearance of her young son. Still, one night Franco and Sarita get drunk and end up getting married. They find out when they wake up in the woods. Sarita is mad and thinks Franco planned this but he didn't. She ends up living with her sisters and her husband and brothers-in-law until they all move out when they find out the truth. Soon after moving out her mother, Gabriella, advises her daughter to divorce her husband, Franco. But after soon the divorce, Sarita learns that she can not live her dull life by her mother's side forever... Also on the subplots the viewer will keep track of Eva, a housemaid of the Elizondo family who was in love with Bernardo, despite Bernardo not remembering their only night of passion which resulted in a child. Gabriela forced her to give up the child upon hearing the news. Eva's job is to hold on to all the uncomfortable secrets that surround the family, during the progress she will be told that her daughter was sent to Raquel, one of Gabriela's friends. Don Agustín (the grandfather of the Elizondo children), who is in a wheelchair and is a bit eccentric, always keeps plotting against Gabriela (his daughter) in order to defend the Elizondo children from her as long as he can. And Padre Tadeo, the town priest begins to know every secret from the past through his confessional booth and tries in vain to solve issues beyond his control. Later in the novela, the viewer finds out that Sophia is the true daughter of Eva, not Gabriella. It turns out that Raquel had switched Gabriella's real baby with Eva's baby. Ruth is the true daughter of Gabriella. Like Gabriella, Ruth is a cold women. Ruth was raised by Raquel and Ricardo Uribe. The reason Ruth is so cold and insensitive might be because she was raised with certain beliefs by Ricardo (her dad).Ruth also takes an interest in Juan and attempts to seduce Juan Reyes. They will go through many situations, many confrontations, encounters, and mix-ups which result in a painful decision for the Robles Reyes brothers: free themselves of the oath that they made to Libia, or be with the women whom they love in spite of everything.
