SYNOPSIS:

Black Tears is a gripping psychological drama that delves into the tangled web of obsession, identity, and survival. Isabel and Maribel, twin sisters living in the harsh reality of Tijuana, have always relied on each other, but their bond begins to unravel when their paths diverge. Maribel, a struggling single mother to her special-needs son, Lalito, faces the cold reality of eviction as her sister Isabel prepares to leave her behind for a new life in San Diego.

Desperate and trapped, Maribel begs for more time, but Isabel’s plans are unyielding. As their relationship fractures, a moment of darkness sets in motion a chilling transformation. Maribel vanishes, leaving Isabel to step into her shoes, both as a mother to Lalito and as a housekeeper for a wealthy American couple, Alex and Kat Fuentes.

Now living in the shadow of her sister’s identity, Isabel becomes obsessed with more than just survival—she fixates on Alex, the charming and successful husband who seems to represent everything she’s ever wanted. But as Isabel’s longing for security and love grows into an obsession with Alex, the thin line between her stolen life and the truth begins to blur.

Haunted by the weight of her deception and desperate to hold onto the life she’s claimed, Isabel’s carefully constructed facade starts to crack. Secrets and lies intertwine as she grapples with the ghosts of her past, the weight of her present, and the tantalizing possibility of a future where Alex could be hers.

In Black Tears, obsession turns deadly, and the cost of survival may be Isabel’s soul.
