Acorralada is a Spanish-language telenovela, which premiered its first episode on the Telemundo channel. This series revolves around the story of Mia Colucci (Elizabeth Gutierrez), a young and wealthy woman who has everything a girl could want in life - beauty, brains, and riches. She falls for her half-brother, Franco Santoro (David Zepeda), not knowing who he is, and how this love will change her life forever.

The first episode of Acorralada starts with a picturesque view of a beautiful mansion, La Hacienda del Encanto, where Mia Colucci lives with her parents, who are one of the wealthiest families in Mexico. They are preparing for an extravagant party, which is being hosted to announce Mia's engagement to her long-term boyfriend, Sergio, who is a lawyer. Everything is perfectly set for the party, from the decor to the menu, except for one minor problem. Mia is not in love with Sergio, and the thought of spending the rest of her life with him scares her.

Mia, on the other hand, is lost in thought and contemplating her life when a stranger approaches her. The stranger is none other than Franco Santoro, who tells Mia that he is a journalist and wants to conduct an interview with her for a prestigious magazine. Franco's charm and good looks make an instant impression on Mia, and she accepts the interview.

Later, Franco arrives to conduct the interview, but he soon reveals a dark secret that leaves Mia stunned. Franco is, in fact, her stepbrother, and the son of her father, Horacio Colucci, from a previous marriage. Mia is utterly shocked and hurt that her father had kept this secret from her for all these years. Franco, who is equally devastated with the revelation, confesses that he has feelings for Mia and that he has wanted to meet her for years but was afraid of her father's reaction.

As the party proceeds, Mia is emotionally wrecked and trying to deal with the revelation about Franco. She is lost in a blur of emotions when she hears a gun shot outside the mansion. She runs outside to find her father, Horacio, dead on the ground. The family is devastated, and Mia's mother, Roselena Villanueva de Colucci, blames Franco for her husband's death, thinking that he did it because he wanted to take revenge. Franco denies this and says that he had nothing to do with Horacio's death. He tries to prove his innocence by giving a statement to the police, but no one believes him.

Mia's life has taken an unexpected turn in just one night. She is heartbroken to learn about her father's infidelity and the news that Franco is her brother. She is torn between her love for him and the societal norms that frown upon their relationship. As she starts to cope with her father's sudden death and her newfound information about Franco, she seeks comfort in Sergio, her fiancé. However, she soon realizes that Sergio is not the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. She decides to break up with him and moves to another city to start a new life.

The first episode of Acorralada sets the foundation of the plot and introduces the main characters who are caught up in a web of love, hate, betrayal, greed, and family secrets. The episode showcases how Mia's life turns upside down when she learns about the truth of her father's death and about Franco being her half-brother. It sets up the storyline with a gripping narrative that will keep the viewers hooked on this series.
