What if one day you woke up and were someone else? This is what happens to Carlos Dominguez, when he starts to remember things about his life when he was James Donato. Carlos/James remembers that he had followed his brother Phil to Mexico. Next thing he knows, he wakes up and is confronted by his son Julian... A son he doesn't remember. As Carlos/James starts to put the pieces together, he remembers his brother Phil was mixed up in some shady dealings. James had followed him to a ship, where he was thrown overboard. His older brother Thomas found him and after making sure he was safe, he told everyone he was dead. That is when he became Carlos.

Carlos had a great, yet difficult, new life: he met and married Raquel, adopted her son Julian, but Raquel, unfortunately, dies while giving birth to their son, Marcus. Now as his memories of James return, he must convince the boys that he won't leave them. Carlos/James decides back to his old home to begin his life over with his sons. He also must confront Aimee, the girl he left behind. There is also Natalya, Raquel's sister, and possibly the key to Carlos/James finding true peace and happiness.

Can Carlos/James really leave everything behind him? And will he figure out who he really wants to be?
