Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Pelo Suelo follows Gloria Trevi, an aspiring singer who works in a Monterrey bar, performing her own compositions, and dreams of going to the capital to start a professional career. After a rather awkward encounter with a famous singer, Gloria finally decides to leave the bar where she has worked for so many years to seek her fortune in the capital. On the way to her destination, on a motorcycle trip, Gloria will be accompanied by Ricky, a boy who escaped from a kidnapping carried out by a gang that will not stop chasing the boy until he returns the stolen diskette, which contains information on the modus operandi of your organization. Meanwhile, in the city, a producer in crisis argues with his star singer and decides to look for new talent for the record company. After receiving an amateur recording of Gloria sent to him by the bar owner, the producer won't stop until he finds her.
