The story of Soledad Ahumada, the daughter of landowner Melquisedec Ahumada, who has been educated in the arduous masculine tasks of the plains field. Such education has shaped her an indomitable and iron character, in addition to her characteristic beauty, which has awakened the love of several men in the region; men she despises or rejects at will. But one day Daniel Clemente appears, a gambler who has won the Ahumada's neighboring farm in a poker bet and who, from her first meeting with her Soledad, sets out to win her over.
