Season 1

After witnessing the murder of their master, young capoeiristas Veneno da Madrugada and Noivo da Vida part ways, having their destinies changed forever. Seventeen years later, in an attempt to change his life, Veneno gets involved in clandestine fights, while Noivo returns to face a present still marked by the violent memories from the past.

By winning the Ring of Blood, Veneno achieves glory as a fighter and begins to help his family and community, but Noivo suspects something is off with the origin of the money. Meanwhile, Perdigueiro, the son of the police officer who died with Vendaval, begins to investigate the true reason behind his father's death.

Veneno gains prominence at the Ring of Blood with impressive victories, becoming the favorite among gamblers. His success catches the attention of Hector García, who sees him as an essential piece to expand the business. Noivo intensifies his investigation and finds clues that lead him to suspect a connection between Veneno and the underworld of fighting. Dinho asks Glória to marry him. Perdigueiro advances in his search for the truth and gets even closer to Capoeira Fiel, questioning what really happened to his father and Vendaval. Noivo faces the harsh reality that Veneno is involved in something much bigger than he imagined.

Veneno bets everything on himself but gets tripped up when he has to face the only one who can take him down in the ring: his friend Noivo. In addition to the defeat, he loses all the money he had saved and becomes a hostage to Hector, forced to fight a rematch. Noivo, unwilling to return to the ring, bears the burden of a secret: the medallion he picked up at the scene of Vendaval's death, which reveals Dinho as the killer. Mestre Ouro discovers the truth, but what he knows puts him in mortal danger.

Mestre Ouro's death devastates Veneno, Noivo, and the entire Xerém and Capoeira Fiel communities. Veneno promises to quit the Ring of Blood, and Noivo promises to fight a rematch to help him recover what he needs to start his life over. Perdigueiro finally discovers the whole truth about his father's death from his old comrade in arms, Sergeant Rocha. Ventania turns 18, argues with her mother, and learns about the Ring of Blood. Despite his promise, Noivo doesn't seem like he is showing up for the fight.

In the Ring of Blood, Veneno and Noivo find themselves on opposite sides of a clash that goes beyond the fight. While Veneno faces the forced rematch imposed by Hector, Noivo tries to convince him that there is still time to escape this cycle of violence. Ventania, determined to take control of her own destiny, decides to enter and fight too. Perdigueiro finally discovers the whole truth about his father's and Vendaval's deaths, putting Dinho against the wall. With the web of lies crumbling, he finds himself with no way out. Veneno and Noivo confront him about the death of their master while Hector suspects that Dinho is stealing his money and threatens to kill him. Ventania, to defend her stepfather, attacks him, triggering a tragic outcome that will change everyone's destinies forever.
