Galicia, 1880. Don Julián, a priest who has been sent as administrator of the Marquis' estate, arrives at the Pazos de Ulloa, a remote and wild place. Don Pedro, Marquis of Ulloa, an impoverished and corrupt feudal lord, is impeded from marrying Nucha, a young lady from the city, his cousin, for whom the hostile and cruel environment of the pazos will constitute a hellish nightmare. Sabel, with whom the Marquis has had a bastard son, is the opposite figure to the fragile Nucha.
