After leaving the Dominican Republic to start anew in Miami, the Castelli family attempts to fit in, make friends, and thrive in a place where the American Dream isn't as dreamy as they imagined.
Cucu finds herself in hot water for speaking Spanish and then English. Víctor and Adela struggle to make good first impressions, while Emilia finds herself in the crosshairs of the most popular girls in school.
Cucu tries to kick-start puberty, Adela gets pulled over for not driving "the American way," and Emilia accidentally agrees to see a horror movie on opening night with the Bubblegum Girls.
The Castellis experience a slew of American firsts: Cucu’s first sleepover, Víctor's first American business dinner, and Emilia's first babysitting job.
The Castellis endure a tricky first Halloween when Cucu's Dominican grandmother arrives. Emilia makes a horrifying discovery in the boys' bathroom, and the Bubblegums help her get some brujería revenge.

When his boss incorrectly assumes he’s great at baseball, Víctor attempts to transform himself into the "Santo Domingo Slugger" with Adela's help. Cucu defies gender stereotypes by signing up for shop class, while Emilia finds a new niche.
Cucu borrows money from an unlikely loan shark, Adela becomes the coupon queen of Miami, and Víctor and Emilia take on a shady used car salesman.
Love is not in the air as Adela and Víctor attempt to celebrate their anniversary, and Cucu must rescind an offer to the dance. Meanwhile, a rhythmless Emilia must perform a series of complex dance moves at her frenemy's quinceañera.
After becoming the target of gossiping cousins back in Santo Domingo, the Castellis set out to prove they’re thriving in Miami.
