Isabela is the daughter of a powerful Brazilian politician. Despite growing up enjoying social privilege and surrounded by luxury, she falls in love with Giovani (Pierre Santos), founder of an alternative community located in the countryside of Brazil, aimed at sustainability and free love. Isabela, fascinated by this different world, leaves everything behind to seek a different lifestyle. After having lived for four years in that community, Isabela decides to pay a visit to her family on Father's Day. She brings along Giovani and introduces her boyfriend to the family.
What Isabela does not expect is that just on this day of the return to her roots, the news shakes the country about her father’s involvement in one of the biggest corruption scandals ever hit Brazil. What was supposed to be a pleasant family gathering, becomes a nightmare for Isabela who has no alternative but to face and confront the ghosts of her past.
