The
Battle of Puebla on 5–5–1862 known as Cinco de Mayo was a Mexican military
victory against the French led forces of King Napoleon III. The French had not
lost a single battle since Napoleon Bonaparte lost the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Meanwhile in a parallel universe the French lead forces are able to defeat Mexico
on 5–5–1862 leading to the eventual downfall of the Mexican government of President Benito Pablo Juárez García. A new rising star in the Mexican Army
earns the title of President of Mexico in the newest colony of France. King
Napoleon III has plans for a new alliance with the Confederate States of America, Britain,
and Spain.
A new war to recuperate Mexico’s
lost lands from the Mexican American War of 1846 soon follows to distract the attention of the Mexicans.

A
group of characters now must deal with the consequences of the defeat on 5–5–1862. Each of them will struggle to adjust to the news. Dulce María
discovers a secret that her father Colonel Abraham is hiding in a hole in the
wall. Cortez hides in the mountains of Queretaro,
Mexico with the rest of the conservative rebels waiting to attack a nearby town to gather
supplies for their lost cause. Eva saves the life of a thief by convincing her father that sometimes business comes before revenge. Major José intervenes to help a friend in a tough situation.
Francisco earns the title of Mexican Supreme Court Justice after a killing.
Enriqueta has a secret plan to preserve her family’s power in Mexico City. Captain Pablo finds a mysterious
letter that promises an opportunity to enjoy one last prank before his retirement. Ophelia works as a nurse for the Confederate States of America during
the time when the medical field does not accept women. Lyra helps to run a cotton and tobacco smuggling operation out of San Antonio,
Texas into the port
of Bagdad, Mexico
to fool the naval blockade of the United States of America.
