Durante el porfiriato crece cada vez más el descontento de la población. Distintos grupos comienzan a organizarse para confrontar el presidente, entre ellos, el bando liderado por Francisco L. Madero. Los maderistas se situarán en distintos lugares de México y al sur de Estados Unidos, específicamente en San Antonio, Texas, punto clave para la lucha. María, de tan sólo 15 años, es una joven con espíritu revolucionario que desea escapar de su condición social privilegiada para promover el voto femenino, participar en la política e iniciar una vida de entrega para los más necesitados. Las lecturas como , Punto Rojo del poeta Práxedis G. Guerrero y L de Victor Hugo, le infundirán ese valor. Pero no será tarea fácil: la protección y las costumbres de su madre, aunadas a las restricciones de su género, la enfrentarán a diferentes obstáculos. Sin embargo, el destino dará un vuelco cuando conoce a un joven doctor recién llegado a San Antonio, Daniel Chapman. Pronto, él se convertirá en confidente y amigo, ya que un poderoso lazo los unirá más allá de lo terrenal. During the times of Porfirio Diaz’ rule, the population’s dissatisfaction and restlessness grew bigger and bigger. Different groups opposed to Diaz began to organize to challenge the president, among them, a group led by Francisco L. Madero. The “Maderistas” would then position themselves in different parts of Mexico and the southern United States, specifically in San Antonio, Texas, a key point for the fight. María, at the time only 15 years old, was a young woman with a revolutionary spirit who wanted to escape her privileged social standing to promote women's suffrage, participate in politics, and start a life of dedication for the most needy. The writings of Práxedis G. Guerrero published in the newspaper and by Victor Hugo, would instill that audacity and drive in her. But it would not be an easy task: her mother’s care and social customs, together with the restrictions of being a woman, would make her face many different obstacles. However, fate is turned upside down when she meets a young doctor who recently arrived in San Antonio, Daniel Chapman. Soon, he will become a confidant and friend, as a powerful bond will bind them together.
