The novel deals with the formation of a settlement in northeastern Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century, born amid violence and the struggle for land. After an ambush, a former jagunço receives some land and plants cacao; with him settle merchants, prostitutes, drovers and former slaves. The friendship among these neighbors makes the place grow and resist the power of the Church and the colonels.
