A young and sensitive couple's impossible love affair.

Born and raised in the misery of Brazilian slums, Jorge becomes a luxury house burglar in São Paulo and gets nicknamed "The Red Light Bandit" by the sensationalist press. In addition to wearing a red flashlight, he talks to his hostages in an irreverent tone and makes bold breakthroughs to later spend the money extravagantly. His world is the decadent neighbourhood of Boca do Lixo.

Fábio, a mediocre and broke writer, is evicted for unpaid rent and even ends up in jail after a police raid on a brothel. His life changes when he unexpectedly inherits the fortune of his wealthy uncle Casemiro — only for the old man to recover soon after. Suddenly wealthy, Fábio dives into high-society parties while trying to finish a “dictionary of sex” and turn his new lifestyle into personal and sexual success. He reconnects with his former lover Gina, who introduces him to Candy, a glamorous nightclub performer who becomes central to his fantasies and ambitions. As scandals unfold and secrets come to light — including Candy’s identity as a travesti — Fábio becomes trapped between desire, money, social appearances and his own insecurities, forcing him to confront what he really wants from life.

The fight for freedom and against oppression is the central theme of this soap opera that tells the story of the Coragem brothers: João, Jerônimo and Duda, in the city of Coroado.

Amidst an unresolved crime, Simone protects Cristiano and falls in love with him. However, the couple faces ambition and betrayals that tear them apart. Presumed dead, she returns under a new identity seeking revenge.
