SYNOPSIS

Trail of Lies is a story of love and ambition centered on Paloma (Paolla Oliveira), who lives in conflict with her family. Secretly adopted, she learns the truth from her conniving brother Félix (Mateus Solano), who wishes to eliminate her at any cost in order to become sole heir to the fortune of their parents, doctors who own a hospital. The revelation comes during a trip to the astonishing historic cities of Peru, where Paloma falls in love with the adventurous Ninho (Juliano Cazarré).

Shocked by the news of her adoption, she runs off with her new companion until her pregnancy makes her decide to return to Brazil. With no money for plane tickets, Ninho accepts the help of his nefarious friend Alejandra (Maria Maya), and ultimately winds up in jail in Bolivia. Alone in Brazil, Paloma seeks Félix’s help, who, sticking to his plan convinces her to keep the news from their parents. After leaving jail, Ninho finally arrives in São Paulo, fights and breaks up with Paloma, who becomes flustered and winds up giving birth to a baby in a bathroom at a bar. Upon finding his unconscious sister, Félix disposes of his newborn niece by abandoning her in a dumpster. Luckily, she is found by Bruno (Malvino Salvador), a hard-working, respectable man who, by a twist of fate, had recently lost his wife and son in childbirth. With the help of a doctor friend, Bruno is able to alter his wife’s death certificate and raises the child, whom he named Paulinha, as his own. At the same hospital, Bruno meets Paloma, who feels an immediate affinity for the girl. The two reunite years later and a mature love is born between them.

Soon to be married, Ninho’s return and the unexpected illness of Paulinha (Klara Castanho) put a twist in the couple’s life. Paloma learns she is the child’s biological mother and decides to fight for her custody, even if the opponent is the man with whom she had chosen to live.

In a story filled with secrets, revelations, and disputes, this telenovela portrays unpredictable consequences of lives based on a dangerous and surprising network of lies.
