Yeimy Montoya is a 17-year-old girl with a gift for writing catchy reggaeton rhymes and musical rhythms. Yeimy is in love with Charly Cruz, her classmate and neighbor. She has written many songs about Charly in her secret notebook, which she guards as if it were her child. Yeimy meets one of Charly's friends, Juan Camilo, 'Juancho', who convinces her to join their reggaeton group, Soul & Bass. A love triangle soon forms as Juancho begins to fall for Yeimy. She is oblivious about his feelings for her as she starts to become friendlier and closer with Charly. Although Charly slowly becomes attracted to her, he is simultaneously jealous of her ability to easily compose rhythmic flows, a talent he sorely lacks.

Charly's uncle, Manín, is a local and powerful narco-trafficker who murders Yeimy's parents in their bakery after refusing to pay protection bribes to him. The police are bribed and ordered by Manín to quash the investigation into the Montoya's murder. Soon after, Soul & Bass begin to get attention from a local radio station and secure a meeting with music producers in New York City. Manín orders Charly and his men to rob a health clinic. Yeimy, coincidentally there with her grandmother, recognizes Charly during the heist despite his ski mask due to his Soul & Bass tattoo. Yeimy confronts Charly about the robbery and he confesses it was for Soul & Bass's NYC trip, promising not to repeat it and seduces Yeimy so that she doesn't turn him in.

Charly tells Manín that Yeimy knows about the robbery and strikes a deal to spare her. The night before their flight to New York, Charly goes to Yeimy's house to give her a suitcase filled with cocaine so that she will be arrested for being a drug mule, and continues to seduce her and they have sex. As Yeimy sleeps, Charly steals her song notebook. At US customs, Yeimy is arrested for the cocaine and upon arriving to prison she is physically assaulted by a guard, who tells her that if she mentions Manín or Charly, her grandmother will be killed. Yeimy realizes that Charly set her up and is devastated by his betrayal. Juancho wants to help Yeimy, but Charly accuses her of being a drug mule, leading to their friendship and music group ending. Charly impresses NYC executives with Yeimy's song, 'Reflejo', taking credit for the song and securing an opportunity for a music career in Puerto Rico. Juancho starts a musical equipment business in Colombia.

17 years later, Yeimy is released from prison after reaching an agreement with the authorities, so she can begin her revenge against the man she loved and trusted so much and now hates with all her soul. As an adult, Yeimy Montoya changes her name and becomes Tammy Andrade, a successful music producer who seeks out new talent in the industry. Now, with the support of new people and all her fame, she will look for ways to continue with her plan for revenge, even though sometimes everything takes an unexpected turn.
