16-year-old Luna is not thrilled when her parents get an unbeatable job offer, and have to relocate from Cancún, Mexico to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Everything is about to change, because Luna, thanks to the rich employer of her parents, now goes to an elite school. However, not everything is good in Luna's new life, she misses her home, her friends, and especially her best friend Simón.

But soon she discovers a trendy rollerskating club, where she can not only prove her talent on wheels, but also on the stage at Open Music. While she is there, she meets Matteo and gets to know him. Unfortunately, this sparks a rivalry between Luna and Ámbar, Matteo's girlfriend. Soon, Simón arrives in Buenos Aires, and Luna's new world is pretty shaken up.

And that's not all: Luna was adopted when she was two years old, and was named after a moon amulet she wore around her neck. She adores her new parents, who have never kept her adoption a secret.
