The series tells the story of Ubaldo, an unhappy bank clerk who lives in the urban area of São Paulo with no memory of his childhood.
He discovers that he has an inheritance and two sisters in the outback of Ceará: Dilvânia leads a group that worships her famous deceased father; and Dinorah is the only woman in a gang of bank robbers.
Ubaldo arrives in town, becomes revered for his strong resemblance to his father, and is called upon to fulfill his destiny as the new mythical “cangaceiro” and supreme leader of the gang.
Ubaldo will have to face bandits, murderers, the corrupt local police and literally blow up small towns as he embarks on his journey, desperately trying to keep his moral values in check.
