***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** After a long absence, studying and living in Europe, Demetrio returns home to his family's tequila plantation in a remote part of Mexico. He looks forward to a reunion with his brother, Ricardo.
Instead, Demetrio finds that Ricardo has committed suicide. Demetrio finds, in his brother's possession, a piece of woman's jewelry - a broach - that's shaped in the letter "V." He also finds a letter addressed to Ricardo from a mysterious woman. It states that she doesn't love Ricardo; she has spent all his money, and aborted his baby. Obviously, this is why Ricardo committed suicide.
Demetrio sets out to find the woman and avenge his brother's death. His search leads him to two young women Veronica (kind-hearted and loving) and Virginia (sneaky and hateful) living in Mexico City. Demetrio decides that it is Veronica who is the mysterious woman who caused his brother's death. In fact, it is Virginia. From there on, he sets his plan of revenge in motion. This is the beginning of LA MENTIRA (The Lie). It is a destructive lie.
Demetrio plans to marry Veronica and then make her life miserable. He lies about his identity and in a cold-hearted manner courts Veronica until she falls in love with him. There is one thing that Demetrio does not plan - he falls in love with Veronica. Demetrio struggles with his feelings for the woman who he thinks is responsible for his brother's death and his vow for revenge. The story becomes more interesting when Demetrio discovers that he is wrong?
A subplot of a drug addiction exists in the story. Although an important social issue, the topic doesn't fit well in LA MENTIRA. It becomes boring to watch. Very boring.
The cast is good, but the best part of the story is watching the raw emotion and attraction that flies off the screen between Demetrio (Guy Ecker) and Veronica (Kate del Castillo). It's a real pleasure to watch these two together. Their performance radiates passion and energy.
