Cristela Alonzo stars as a woman laughing her way to the new American dream, in a family comedy loosely based on her life and stand-up routine.

Cristela is frustrated when Trent asks her to work on a case that supports unequal pay for women in the workplace. Meanwhile, Cristela finds some satisfaction when she learns that Daniela has been making more money than Felix for years... which she has kept as a secret... and Cristela is thus drawn into an emotional argument at home.
