Plot
The series relates the events which occur to a special forces squad of the Marina Armada Mexicana, in which Lieutenant Roberta Ballesteros —who graduated with highest honours from the military academy— must prove that she is as capable as her male colleagues. It centres around the challenges she encounters upon joining the elite unit, and the emotional aftermath of tragedy which befalls the group. The series follows her integration into the unit, which is full of drama, action, valour, and close relationships. The stories often reflect real‑world challenges faced by the Mexican Navy — such as arresting drug traffickers and human traffickers, disasters, superstition, politics, and corruption.
