Sister Milagros and Mother Bernarda are two nuns in charge at the Catholic summer camp La Brújula in Segovia. Mother Bernarda is seeking to modernize and reach out to youth through music, while Sister Milagros is full of self doubt.

The main characters are María and Susana, two 17-year-old girls who are spending the summer at the camp which they have attended since they were little. They both love reggaeton and "Electro Latino" music; but God's apparitions to and calling of María begin to change all their lives.
