Thida Dance

Jamjan Kwanjai (Fon Tanasoontorn), a former Luk Thung (Thai country music) queen, reinvented herself by establishing her own touring concert band. She recruits a new generation of talent to mold into famous artists and formed her own troupe of backup dancers under the supervision of Je Maw (Jojo Myoxi), an old friend and expert choreographer whose dance moves are hits across the country.
Currently, Jamjan has a rising new star named Yardfah Thidajan (Cream Thicha Cha), a singer with a charming voice whom she is determined to make famous. She also has three main dancers: Fon (Jean Gaewalin Sriwanna), Bua (May Nisachon Tuamsoongnuen), and Petch (Fueang Rakchon Puttarangsi). They are her adopted daughters whom she "picked up" and brought home while touring in various provinces. All three have lived with Jamjan since they were small, never knowing their biological parents. Although not related by blood, Jamjan fulfills the role of a mother perfectly.
Jamjan is dedicated to making Yardfah a star, so she asked Pa Kiew (Nong Chernyim), her longtime songwriting partner, to compose a whole album for her. This made Yardfah an explosive success with concert bookings spanning the year. Taking this opportunity, Jamjan asked Pa Kiew to write debut songs for the three girls (Fon, Bua, and Petch). However, before he could start, Pa Kiew died mysteriously, shaking the stability of Jamjan's band.
Terdtai (Point Cholawit Meetongcom), a young police officer, is assigned to investigate Pa Kiew's death. To find the cause, Terdtai infiltrates the band as a laborer. Jamjan hires him, unaware he is an undercover cop. Terdtai meets Din (Non Phudis), a band musician. Soon, Terdtai and Din become close. Terdtai manages to gather some information about Pa Kiew from Din; though small, it is useful for the investigation.
Jamjan looks for a new songwriter and finds Wit (Atom Samphanthapharap), an artistically temperamental songwriter, to help. Jamjan intends to eventually mold the three girls into full-fledged singers just like Yardfah.
One day, Hia Yut (Tanayong Wongtrakul) secretly meets Yardfah and offers a large sum to buy her out for his music label. Yardfah agrees immediately; Jamjan's past kindness cannot hold her back. Yardfah resigns from the band. Ploen (Aomjai Duangrat Kachasa) quickly resigns as well, begging to go with Yardfah. Jamjan is devastated watching them leave without any lingering affection.
After that incident, Jamjan has Wit write songs for the three girls. Although Wit is a rookie with little experience, his songs please Jamjan greatly. Each song is suitable and melodious, just as if Pa Kiew had written them. Shortly after the launch, they receive overwhelming popularity.
Meanwhile, shortly after joining Hia Yut's label, Yardfah secretly begins a relationship with him. She becomes arrogant with other singers, leading to rumors and inappropriate behavior that causes her work to dry up. Meanwhile, Jamjan's band is booming again, and the three girls are famous. Hia Yut becomes anxious and lashes out at Yardfah, threatening to cancel her contract and sue for his money back. Yardfah refuses as she has spent it all. Hia Yut gives an ultimatum: Yardfah must poach singers from Jamjan's camp. Yardfah promises to do it.
At the same time, Hia Yut gets a new investor: Khun Lada (Sirintara Niyakon), a wealthy widow helping with finances. She decides to invest in Hia Yut's label but asks to participate in selecting singers. Yardfah begins her plan to poach singers. Her victim is Soipetch (Petch). Petch thinks for two days before deciding to meet Hia Yut to sign a contract.
Upon arriving at the label, Hia Yut and Lada are waiting. Before Petch finishes singing, Lada interrupts, saying she won't take Petch unless she brings her two sisters, Fon Luang (Fon) and Chom Bongkot (Bua). Petch is conflicted, but her ambition—wanting a car and beautiful clothes like Yardfah—drives her to complete this mission.
Petch talks to Fon and Bua, begging them to join Hia Yut's camp. Both scold Petch for thinking of betraying their benefactor, Jamjan. Angry and disappointed at having no allies, Petch gives an ultimatum: If they don't move with her, don't expect her to perform in concerts with them ever again!
Petch gets close to Wit and asks him to write songs for her. She succeeds in stealing all the songs Wit wrote and giving them to Hia Yut, intending to be the sole owner of the album. However, it backfires; the first released song is given to Yardfah. Wit hears the rival camp's song and is shocked—it's his work. He misunderstands, thinking Jamjan is so broke she sold his songs. Wit plans to sue Jamjan.
The next day, everyone is shocked when police arrest Jamjan. She accepts her fate despairingly without excuse, even forbidding anyone from bailing her out. Worried, Fon, Petch, and Bua rush to the station. Petch cries and confesses she stole the songs. Jamjan tells her to stop talking and forget the mistake; she will take the blame alone. They all hug and cry.
Terdtai walks out in his police uniform. Fon is disappointed and hurt, feeling deceived the whole time; the man she had feelings for arrested her mother. Bua feels the same about Wit, saddened that he was cruel enough to have her mother arrested. The three sisters consult each other again.
Petch confesses the whole truth to Fon. Fon asks Bua to change her mind and give up her dream of boxing abroad. The three go to meet Hia Yut and Lada. Lada confirms the songs won't be given to anyone else because they were written for the three sisters. She offers a large sum to help Jamjan's band first, reasoning that even with the lyrics back, Jamjan isn't ready to produce an album. The three sign the contract in tears.
Shortly after leaving jail, Jamjan is arrested again, this time wrongly accused of killing Pa Kiew. Can Jamjan clear her name? What will be the fate of the three girls?
