Carolina, Leonor and Isabela are three sisters from the high society of El Socorro. They join the Liberator Army as spies motivated to pursue those responsible for the death of their mother, Beatriz de Villamizar, at the hands of Captain José María Montenegro. Gerardo Villamizar, using his military past within the Commoners Movement, prepares his three daughters in different disciplines of combat, infiltration and sabotage.
