Determined to compete in a music contest in the plaza, young Miguel decides to borrow the guitar kept in Ernesto de las Cruz’s tomb. Suddenly he finds himself transported to the land of the dead with his street dog named Dante. This place turns out to be a large metropolis, with amazing brightly lit homes. On the bridge from there to earth, he meets several generations of his ancestors. One of them promises to give him the blessing he needs to return to earth, but with the condition he give up music. Miguel decides instead that he will find de la Cruz, whom he believes might be the missing musician from the photograph, and get his blessing instead.

During his journey, Miguel gets some help from a skeleton named Hector, who wants the boy to take his photograph to an ofrenda so that he can visit his relatives on earth. Unless he is remembered by them, he cannot travel on the Day of the Dead.
