Season two picks up just after season one, telling the story of 20-something Máximo Gallardo (played by Enrique Arrizon), whose dream comes true when he lands the job of a lifetime as a cabana boy at the greatest resort in Acapulco, Las Colinas.
In 1985, Máximo has to deal with changes at the resort, unexpected problems at home, and a new love interest who might be able to rival the girl of his dreams. He sets his sights on becoming Diane’s right-hand man and eventually taking over the entire Las Colinas company under Don Pablo’s direction (played by Damián Alcázar). Present-day Máximo (played by Eugenio Derbez) must face some unfinished business that the younger Máximo left behind as he travels to Acapulco to make peace with Don Pablo’s recent passing.
