Plot

Siderúrgica Gusmão develops a secret formula based on magnesium that becomes the target of Leonardo, brother of the company's director, Clarice Gusmão. Stunt performers Pat and Moa are hired by Clarice to find Jonathan Azevedo's formula, and they see in the challenge a chance to keep their financial situations healthy, guaranteed by their work on film sets. Pat is married and the mother of two children, while Moa has been a single father since his separation from Rebeca. Both have a reciprocal passion for each other, but they don't admit their feelings.

Pat and Moa locate the briefcase containing the formula in a cave in a remote forest, but then find out that Clarice has been murdered, and start an investigation to find out who is behind the mysterious crime. They are joined by Italo, Clarice's former security guard with whom she had a relationship, and Rico, one of the partners at the Coragem.com stunt agency. In the search for clues they end up meeting Anita, Clarice's doppelganger.^[5]
