Time Hustler Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis of the series reads, “After being hit in the head, a man wakes up in 1927 to discover that he’s the spitting image of a famous bandit — and decides to make the most of it.” Virguley is a lazy, tangled, and a morally-ill person who lives in absolute turmoil in São Paulo and dreams of returning rich to the Northeast.
Among his gigs, he takes advantage of his resemblance to Lampião to perform in public squares in São Paulo. One day, after getting into another mess, he ends up getting a slap in the ear and ends up in 1927, in the middle of the cangaço, where he is confused by the local population as the real Lampião.
Taking advantage of the farce, Virguley gathers a group beyond unusual, falls in love with Mariá and becomes powerful in the city. But, as nothing in this goat’s life is easy, this story will still have many twists, including the real King of Cangaço wanting to get this story straight. It will be a chase between the imposter and the real, which will create more chaos. But the question remains how will Virguley go back in time or will he decide to stay in 1927?
