A modern retelling of the Romeo and Juliet classic love affair, personified by Rosa Camilla Montemayor (Sunshine Dizon) and Carlito Valiente (Cogie Domingo). A love affair that goes against all odds as the political conflict between their families grows stronger. Rosa Camilla's father, Gov. Leandro Montemayor (Eddie Garcia), uses his power to take Rosa Camilla away from the son of his political rival, Cong. Carlos Valiente (Vic Vargas). What makes this compelling tale of love, conquest and revenge all the more intriguing is the struggle between Gov. Leandro's three women-Iluminada (Liza Lorena), his legal wife, to whom he has three children namely Ernestina (Princess Punzalan) , Alberto (Raymond Bagatsing) and her granddaughter Paloma (Alessandra de Rossi); Czarina (Gloria Diaz), the original mistress and mother to Lucinda (Ara Mina) and Amanda (Sharmaine Arnaiz); and finally Alicia (Hilda Koronel), the love of Leandro's life and mother to Rosa Camilla.
