A high-energy telenovela-soap hybrid that pairs a supernatural second-chance premise with ensemble romance and personal redemption, balancing melodrama with comedic irreverence across 161 episodes.

Tells the story of the quartet formed by a friendly and bankrupt ex-football player, a rich and snobby surgeon, a powerful and arrogant executive and a scammer with a heart of stone. They are victims of a plane crash on the same day they met each other and end up dying. When they meet Death, they are told that their time to go has not yet come and that they must return to life to deal with their personal issues. However, Death warns that, in a year, one of them will actually die and the four decide to take this second chance to achieve their greatest goals in life.
