After her boyfriend leaves her to go on vacation to Brazil—a trip they had planned together—Dalila decides to get away from it all. Reluctantly, she agrees to accompany her sister Lucía and three of her friends to a camp in southern Argentina.

In Lago Negro, surrounded by forests, mountains, and horses, Dalila discovers a world very different from her own. There she meets Tharo, a young horse trainer who lives with his grandparents in a remote cabin. Quiet, attentive, and deeply connected to nature, Tharo interacts in a way that Dalila finds both disconcerting and fascinating.

Meanwhile, one of her friends begins to spend time with Stephan Zasiok, an older man who is wealthy and very influential in the area. Although he seems friendly and charming at first, Tharo and his grandparents are suspicious of him.

As the bond between Dalila and Tharo deepens, the secrets surrounding Zasiok and his dark past also begin to unfold.

Amidst the imposing natural surroundings and an outdoor life that transforms them, the friends find themselves caught up in a story of desire, danger, and freedom that will change their lives forever.
