The story begins in the city of Los Angeles in the year 2004, where secret agent Ana Lucia (Elizabeth Gutierrez) has been given the mission of apprehending one of the most cunning and lethal criminal master minds in the country, Ricky Montana (Gabriel Porras). Ana Lucia (referred to as Analia by her fellow cops) goes undercover as a stripper and starts working at a night club where Ricky Montana has frequently been spotted. After many nights of watching her performances, Montana starts to fall for Analia and, little by little, lets her in on his mafia operations. The police’s plan is working, and Agent Analia will soon have gathered enough evidence to bring Montana to jail. However, after spotting Analia with a cop at the club, Ricky Montana grows doubts about his beloved stripper and starts to question her identity. Fearing that Montana might have discovered that she is indeed a cop herself, Analia grows determined to prove to Montana her loyalty to him, but Ricky Montana comes up with a diabolical plan that will truly reveal Analia’s identity to him: Montana asks Analia to murder Mariana Montiel (Gaby Espino), a young and successful businesswoman who lives right there in Los Angeles. He knows that if Analia is indeed a cop, she will never agree to such a thing. Analia accepts the task.
Analia targets Mariana Montiel,who on her anniversary, unfortunately discovers that her husband, Daniel Montiel (Martin Karpan), has been cheating on her all along with her cousin, Sara Andrade (Maritza Rodriguez). Mariana cannot believe it and goes into a state of depression. She starts drinking heavily and leaves in Daniel’s car the night of the anniversary party. Much to her surprise, she is stopped by an armed Analia, who forces herself into Mariana’s car. Analia tells Mariana that she has been ordered to kill her and that her employer’s most trusted men are following them to make sure that the job gets done. Analia also tells Mariana that she actually has no intention of hurting her, and that if she drives away at full speed, they will be able to lose Montana’s men and hopefully fake the whole thing. But drunken Mariana has lost her will to live after discovering her husband’s betrayal. She purposely drives the car off a cliff, where it falls hundreds of feet down into the road, explodes, and kills them both.
The explosion is witnessed by a mad scientist named Dr. Armando Rivera (Daniel Lugo), who was on his way home after a scholarly presentation on cell cloning. Dr. Rivera is able to retrieve Mariana’s corpse from within the burning car, but Analia’s body is nowhere to be found. Instead of calling an ambulance, Dr. Rivera takes Mariana to his laboratory where he intends to try out a new experiment that, if done properly, will bring Mariana back to life. The doctor is set on saving Mariana’s life because his wife died in a similar fashion, and he was unable to do anything to save her. His operation is successful, but Mariana’s body is still extremely burned, and thus, unrecognizable. His assistant, Roberto (Jorge Consejo), shows Dr. Rivera a purse he found close to the burning car. Assuming that it fell out of one of the car’s windows during the fall and that it belongs to the woman the doctor had just resurrected, he shows him its contents. Inside the purse is a card that reads ‘ANALIA’ and a photograph of the cop. Dr. Rivera assumes this to be Mariana and sets out to reconstruct her face like that of Analia’s. He and his assistant keep all this secret from the police in fear of going to jail for illegal experimentation on nonliving test subjects and unlicensed plastic surgical operations. Though it takes the doctor four years to make Mariana “as good as new,” his work is so exceptionally well done that there is no physical trace of Mariana (now with the face of Analia) ever having experienced a car explosion. However, not everything turned out perfectly because, after much research on her part, an amnesiac Mariana—who believes herself to be Analia—realizes that if she is indeed who she thinks she is, going back to being an undercover cop and arresting Montana is the correct thing to do. Mariana is now forced to confront the dark and dangerous past of her "murderer." From this moment on, she will live a double life that unleashes a battle between love and, later on, her desire for vengeance.
