Series overview

Season 1 (2016)

is a 16-year-old girl who loves to roller-skate and lives with her adoptive parents in Cancún, Mexico, in the mansion where her parents work. Luna works as a delivery girl at a fast food joint with her best friend, Simon. On a delivery she bumps into a boy named Matteo. Matteo flirts with her and nicknames her Delivery Girl, Luna nicknames him Chico Fresa, a nickname meaning he is very conceited/rich.
However, her life is completely turned upside-down when the mansion's new owner, Sharon Benson arrives. Luna has a bad encounter with Sharon's goddaughter, Ambar, when she accidentally spills a milkshake on Ambar. Ambar then pushes her in the pool with her skates on. Luckily Matteo, who happens to be Ambar's boyfriend, saves her from drowning. Sharon is pleased with the work performance of Luna's parents and offers them double pay and to give Luna education in one of the best schools, if they go work in her manor in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Forced to accept, Luna has to leave her friends, job, and life behind, but her transition is eased when she comes across the roller skating rink named the Jam & Roller, where her existing passion for roller skating is reinvigorated as she discovers the world of freestyle skate-dancing. The rink brings her new friends, Nina, Jim, and Yam, a new job as skating rink assistant, and a new passion. She's also forced to endure the challenges of a vigorous new school system. To make matters worse, Luna is targeted by Ambar, who goes to the same school where she is the most popular. Ambar uses her two best friends, Delfi and Jazmin to also target Luna.
Luna's best friend, Simon, decides to go after her, leading him to forming the Roller Band with Nico and Pedro. Luna then begins to fall in love with Matteo, who like Ambar is the most popular at school.
Meanwhile, Sharon is threatened by her past as she discovers that her niece, Sol Benson is still alive. Many years ago Sharon had burned the manor down, leading to the death of her sister Lili and her husband, Bernie, who Sharon loved. Sharon believed Sol, daughter of Lili and Bernie, had also died in the fire. Sharon, as the closest legal relative to Bernie, changed her last name to Benson and kept Lili and Bernie's fortune. With the help of her personal assistant, Rey, she investigates to find out who and where is Sol Benson.
Meanwhile, many years back, a worker of the manor named Roberto helped little Sol Benson escape the fire. He left the baby girl at an orphanage in Mexico City. She was eventually adopted by Monica and Miguel Valente. They named her Luna because of the moon pendant she had. Destiny brought Luna to her birth home and past without her knowing it.
Roberto ends up dying in a hospital. But he has the Sun part of Sol's pendant. He gives the Sun piece to a pair of hospital employees, Tino and Cato, and asks them to go to the Benson Family to find and return it to Sol.
Sharon and Rey investigate any possible connection to the Benson Family, not knowing that Luna is actually Sol Benson. Sharon and Rey realize Tino and Cato aren't so smart so they stand no threat but they decide to keep them close as workers in the manor. Tino and Cato have their own storyline as they try to accomplish their mission given by Roberto. Cato also falls in love with Amanda, the house's maid.
Meanwhile, there are other storylines, like the rising of the Roller Band. Others include Nina's journey as FelicityForNow, an undercover account that lets her speak her real thoughts, while she is in love with Gaston, Matteo's best friend. Jim and Yam are two best friends who do everything together. They are both in love with Ramiro, an egotistic guy aspiring to live off his skating and rapping. But this all changes when Jim begins to fall for Nico and Ramiro falls in love with Yam. Another storyline is Jazmin and Delfi, Ambar's best friends and accomplices. They have their own channel named "Fab'n'Chic". Delfi likes Gaston, to the point where she pretends to be FelicityForNow after seeing how much Gaston likes the account. She then begins to better herself when she gets closer to Pedro.
Luna must juggle her new responsibilities, her new course load, and the drama of her various relationships while unfurling the mysteries of the disconcertingly real dreams she has of her past and future.
