Yeimy Montoya (María José Vargas) is a 17-year-old Colombian teenager who is in high school and lives in a comuna.

Yeimy meets one of Charly's friends, Juan Camilo, 'Juancho', (Guillermo Blanco) who attends the same school and lives in the comuna.

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 is a local and powerful narco-trafficker, Dúver Cruz, 'Manín' (Lucho Velasco).

He tells her that this was the first time that he committed a crime and that he did it only because he wanted to raise money for Soul & Bass's trip to NYC.

He tells him that they should pack a suitcase to give her with cocaine so that she will be arrested in NY for being a drug mule.

She physically assaults Yeimy and tells her that if she mentions Manín or Charly that her grandmother, Dona Carmen, will be killed.

She promises Yeimy that she will raise Mateo while she is in prison, that she will move out of the comuna, and that she will not tell Charly that he has a son.

He murders Dona Carmen and then sets fire to the building she was living in to steal the baby.

He is self-centered, a womanizer, and an alcoholic who engages in criminal activity like money laundering for his uncle.

Juancho (Andrés Sandoval) has a successful musical equipment business, is still living with his younger siblings, and is dating Catalina Bedoya, one of Yeimy's childhood friends.

In return for a reduced prison sentence, Yeimy (Carolina Ramírez) is offered the opportunity to become an undercover agent for the DEA to help capture Manín.

She also plans to use this opportunity to get close to Charly and exact revenge for the 17 years she wrongfully spent in prison because of him.

The attempt is unsuccessful but the DEA announces that Yeimy Montoya and one of her associates is killed in the prison.

The DEA with the help of Jack del Castillo, a Puerto Rican music producer, form a false identity for Yeimy and train her to become this new person.

Yeimy accomplishes her goal of destroying Charly's career and helps to dissolve his marriage to Gema.

Yeimy lets go of her hatred for Charly and learns that through forgiveness she will find peace, freedom, and love.
