Watch Hijos del Carnaval

The Gebara family's problems come to a head. Claudinho must decide if he will become a typical violent crime boss. Brown realizes his failures, but struggles with a fatal flaw.

When Anesio runs into the man he had ordered Joel to kill many years before, he commands Nilo to finish the job Joel started. However, to protect Nilo, Joel murders the man instead.

The Gebara family struggles to make weekly payments on the late Anesinho's debt, the possible cause of his suicide. After a sale of the rights to a soccer player goes awry, Claudinho must immediately pay the remaining sum.

With Carnaval on its way, the brothers are deeper into conflict. A young drug-user is pregnant with Brown's illegitimate child. Nilo overhears that his mother was murdered. Claudinho struggles between being a good father and a good son.

After the suicide of the beloved eldest son, the three remaining brothers vie for the open position of favorite (and most powerful) son in their father's heart.

After a mysterious omen foretells the death of a Brazilian gambling boss' relative, his world is shaken while his family's bonds and lines are blurred.
