Synopsis:

In a land gripped by military rule, Diego Vega returns home to a society burdened by oppression. Driven by a strong sense of justice, he adopts the guise of Zorro, a masked figure dedicated to safeguarding the vulnerable from injustice. Zorro's actions are fueled not only by a desire for liberation but also by a complicated personal life. His efforts to protect the innocent are juxtaposed with unrequited affection for Lolita, who finds herself drawn to figures of higher social standing. The series explores themes of duty versus desire, and the complexities of heroism when personal aspirations clash with societal expectations. Set against a backdrop of political unrest and shadowy conflict, it presents a nuanced exploration of identity and sacrifice in a world yearning for change.
