Amid financial hardship, Abraham Quintanilla prioritizes his 8-year-old daughter Selena's musical talent and has her start a band with her siblings.

Brother AB struggles to find Selena a song for a new single, while Abraham seeks to convince a music executive to produce a record with the band.

Selena is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards; the band travels to Matamoros, Mexico, for a performance.

Selena y Los Dinos embark on a cross-country music tour, which puts a strain on the singer's vocal chords, and the band searches for a solution.

Abraham considers two offers from major record labels; as Selena and her band mates attract more attention, a dashing new guitarist joins the family.

While recording the new album, the Quintanilla family clashes with the record label's decisions, especially when it comes to Selena's fashion style.
