What happens in Medusa?

Millionaire Bárbara Hidalgo was just crowned CEO of her family’s powerful business conglomerate, Medusa, which has a near monopoly on Colombia’s northern coast. While out sailing solo on her luxury yacht before her new gig commences, she nearly loses her life: The yacht explodes, and Bárbara’s thrown into the water. Everyone assumes she’s dead — except for Detective Danger Carmelo, who’s convinced the Hidalgos are withholding information that’s crucial to his missing person investigation. And he’s right — Bárbara washes up seemingly unscathed. But is she really the same person as she was before the accident? And who’s behind this failed assassination attempt? As a tangled web of family secrets emerges, Bárbara must confront who she really is — and why her own flesh and blood wants her dead.
