Producer Renato Milva announces he is opening auditions to create a new musical theater group. Several young artists sign up in hopes of fulfilling their lifelong dream: being recognized and being able to make a living out of their passion.

The 15 days of audition workshops begin. As everyone dreams of moving on to the next stage, Sandra faces trouble with her jealous boyfriend, Emídio, Leandro deals with his alcoholic father, and Jorge asks for the blessing of his mother, who is in a coma. Mauricio sends a sexy photo to Artur, and Nora tells her lover, who is married, that she is pregnant. Marita implies that Mauricio and Antonia will cause trouble.

The auditions take place amidst stage fright and incorrect evaluations. Jorge gets a call from the hospital which breaks his concentration, but this brings him closer to Sandra. Alicia and Leandro are in love. Reginaldo is scared to be on stage, and his mother sings with him. Later, Nora feels sick and Renato helps her.

Relationships within the group are becoming intense. Leandro walks Alicia home and they kiss. Emídio is jealous and sets a trap for Sandra. Fernando and Sissy get closer and Artur tries to explain the situation with Mauricio. Renato tries to apologize to Antonia, but he ends up being seduced by Nora.

A new stage of audition candidate eliminations is coming up and the competition becomes more intense. Nora pretends to be friends with Marita to carry her plans forward, and she also badmouths Sandra, who discovers it. Emídio runs into Jorge and recognizes him. Later, Jorge confesses his love for Sandra to his mother and aunt, but they do not approve.
