The telenovela tells the story of an aging, polygamous miner, Patrick, who typically spends most of his life underground.

Patrick is constantly under pressure to prove himself as a man who is able to provide for his large family, and also having to nurse his terminal illness. However, working in the 'City Of Gold' comes with its own temptations, and this brings about a constant battle with his morals - making him question who he is.
