Thursday, September 19, 1985. 7 a.m., Mexico City. At the General Hospital, Dr. Angel is in charge of a complicated birth. In the historic center, Camila, an amateur journalist, is doing an independent report. In Tlatelolco, Gabriela goes to work while her husband and children prepare to start the day. The minutes slowly approach 7:19.

A year earlier, Camila confronts her family to follow her dream of becoming a journalist, fleeing Guadalajara. Back in 1985, an hour has passed since the earthquake. At the General Hospital there are signs of life within the rubble. Gabriela tries to return to Tlatelolco amidst all the chaos, anguished for her children. Camila finds some seamstresses trapped inside a maquila factory.

In the 1950s, Ignacio promises his dying mother that he will always take care of Angel, his younger brother. In 1985, two hours after the earthquake, Angel is still working on his rescue work when he receives a visit from Ignacio. Camila meets Gabriela near Tlatelolco, where the police are not letting anyone through. Under the rubble, Alberto meets another survivor.

Gabriela faces her past, as well as the problems that hit her now fractured marriage. Three hours have passed since the earthquake. At the hospital, Angel finds in Pepin a new lease of life to get closer to the babies and nurses under the rubble. Gabriel and Camila, each in their own way, make their way to the fallen building in Tlatelolco. Alberto and Regina approach the surface.

Some time ago, Angel was starting a family, but the mistakes he made in the past follow him to the present, where it has been 4 hours since the earthquake. Rescue work at the hospital continues now with the help of the students. In Tlatelolco, attempts to rescue survivors continue. Deep in the rubble, someone calls for help.

It wasn't easy for Camila to survive in the capital or adapt to the world of news, but everything prepared her for the present, where five hours have passed since the earthquake. An incident between Ángel, Ignacio and Camila triggers a race against time to ask for foreign help. Finally, the government's intentions and the side that Ignacio has decided to take come to light.

The earthquake, which has already happened 6 hours ago, took Chave and Pepín by surprise in the middle of an important decision. In Tlatelolco, the efforts and hours of work removing rubble have paid off, Gabriela and Alberto are getting closer to their children; Beto tries to get out, Pablo and Lucía hold on as best they can. In the rubble of the hospital, the nurses begin to lose hope.

A year earlier, Alberto has a conflict with the construction company he works for, claiming that the infrastructure of his building is in poor condition. In 1985, seven hours have passed since the earthquake. Under the rubble, Hilda and Toña are put to the test with a complicated life-or-death operation. Camila arrives at the airport; Ignacio and Guillermo are hot on her heels.

Months ago, Lucía and Pablo fell in love instantly at a band rehearsal. He finds in Lucía a refuge from his problems at home. Now, 8 hours have passed since the earthquake and both are still trapped in the rubble, running out of oxygen. At the General Hospital, they witness a miracle amidst the tragedy. Camila, deprived of her freedom, could receive help from the person she least expects.

In the season finale, 9 hours have passed since the earthquake that shook Mexico City. Camila is still a target of the government, Ignacio gives the order that no one goes over the collapse despite being so close to getting Rosario and the baby out; Ángel will have to make a decision. In Tlatelolco, Lucía and Pablo's lives hang in the balance, but unexpected help could change everything.

A day after Ángel was trapped, the army blocks access to the disaster zone. At the collapsed CONALEP, Pepín and the students help Alicia, a deaf woman searching for her nephew. Meanwhile, with the following year's World Cup at risk, Ignacio and Guillermo must decide whether to reveal the imminent aftershock.

Victoria, a young rebel, defies her grandfather by taking the family taxi out to the streets to help. At the hospital, Dr. Carlos and the nurses work to maintain order. Among the rubble, Dr. Ángel recalls the nightmares he had while unconscious, wondering if he was actually not dreaming. Camila knows it's time to make the call she has been avoiding for so long.

Ángel is rescued but traumatized after being buried for so long. At CONALEP, Pepín and the volunteers finally get help. Victoria brings Jack, a foreign journalist, to the hospital, someone Camila recognizes and who might be helpful. As night falls, the aftershock looms, threatening to catch the unsuspecting population by surprise.

The aftershock has caused several buildings to collapse, complicating the rescue efforts. Ignacio loses track of Ángel in the chaos and must find him. Camila follows a lead, trying to uncover what Colonel Hernández and his subordinates are hiding. At CONALEP, all hope seems lost, but Alicia will have to convince the others that there are still people alive beneath the rubble.

Alicia guides Pepín and the miners to the spot where she believes there are still survivors, getting closer to finding her nephew, Ezequiel. The doctors are nearing Rosario but face a difficult obstacle-they need tools. Meanwhile, Camila, with the help of Comosama and Dober, comes up with a plan to return the medicines stolen by the army to the hospital.

Colonel Hernández tortures Camila to extract the truth, but the journalist resists. Ignacio begins to act strangely, embarking on a mysterious journey where he finally encounters Ángel. The nurses bid farewell to their last fallen companion under the rubble, and Victoria becomes a messenger between Pepín and Chave after successfully bringing Alicia and her nephew to the hospital.

As Ángel crosses the city with Camila to recover the videotapes, Ignacio threatens Guillermo to get a meeting with the president. At the General Hospital, a greater disaster could strike at any moment due to a lapse in attention. Meanwhile, Hilda leads the resistance of the displaced victims who refuse to be moved by the army.

Ángel learns about the events at the hospital and desperately searches for Dr. Carlos amid the chaos of the evacuation. Camila leads Jack and Victoria with the videotapes toward the U.S. embassy. No one knows anything about Ignacio, least of all his wife, Irene, who senses that something terrible has happened to him. News of the fire at the General Hospital reaches CONALEP.

Camila is in critical condition, and Ángel must perform emergency surgery, unsure if he can save her. Colonel Hernández pushes soldiers to speed up the hospital evacuation, while refugees led by Hilda grow more resistant. Pepín reunites with Chave, and together with the miners, they join the rescue efforts-there's still life under the rubble of the General Hospital.

Everything culminates at the General Hospital, where the exhausting rescue efforts are in jeopardy when the government decides to send bulldozers to clear the most affected areas. Colonel Hernández loses his composure and resorts to violence in response to his soldiers' insubordination. Ángel confronts him.
