Gabriel grew up in Recife, raised by his grandmother after his mother died and his father abandoned him. When his grandmother passes away and his father inherits everything, he decides to leave Recife and move to Rio de Janeiro. As soon as he arrives in the city, he falls hopelessly in love with Adriano, a mysterious Uruguayan sex worker. He also makes new friends: Mônica, a trans woman who owns Bar da Glória, Laila, Mateus, and Roger. When Adriano disappears, Gabriel embarks on an investigation that draws him deeper into the world of sex work and the nightlife of the streets of Glória.
