==Series overview==  The series follows the paths of the Ramirez siblings who live polar opposite lives after being separated at a young age. The siblings' lives are thrust into a world of politics, power and corruption that shake their core values, murder their loved ones and potentially destroy themselves.

===Season 1 (2018)=== {{Main|Asintado (season 1)}}

The older sibling Katrina (Shaina Magdayao) is eager to shed her old life for the gilded world of her rich and powerful adopted parents and she shuts off the memory of her younger sister. The younger sibling, Juliana (Julia Montes) does not stop searching for her sister and embraces the loving and poor family who adopts her. Their paths cross as young adults but they do not recognize each other. They are in love with the same man, Gael Ojeda (Paulo Avelino). Their conflict becomes more dangerous than just a love triangle and sibling rivalry.

===Season 2 (2018)=== {{Main|Asintado (season 2)}}

The season explores the aftermath of Gael's death – from the changes in the characters' relationships, the sacrifices for family, and the consequences of revenge.
