Plot The plot focuses on the 16 year old Beatriz "Bia" Urquiza (Isabela Souza), a girl who likes to draw. When Bia was very young, she loved making music with her older sister Helena (Gabriella Di Grecco), a singer and member of the band MoonDust, which included her boyfriend Víctor Gutiérrez (Fernando Dente) and his little brother Lucas. One day, the band was involved in a traffic accident, the only survivor of which was Víctor, who is now paraplegic and uses a wheelchair. Bia still suffers from the loss of her sister ten years later, and Víctor's family resents the Urquizas, deeming Helena responsible for the accident.
Bía develops feelings for Lucas and Víctor's half-brother Manuel. Their relationship earns little approval from their respective families, especially the eldest Gutiérrez brother Alex, who does everything in his power to meddle in their relationship. In addition, a mysterious young woman named Ana appears in the Residence Kunst, claiming to have a connection to what has happened in the past. Bia and Manuel attempt to navigate the pressures of their relationship while also uncovering dark secrets within the Gutiérrez family's past.
