Engine smoke help!

OK so I was driving home and about the last 1.5 mile I see a little bit of smoke . I'm like wtf.... but it went away and nothing smelt funny so I kept driving. I get home and smell and plastic smell I pop the hood and my pully is smoking? behind the battery. Atleast I think its the pully , everything seems ok to the untrained eye , but now my car wont turn over .... it sounds like it has no charge but , my electronics still turn on and such (YAY perfect day)

Check for a blown Main fuse (120A). And also check for melted/severed battery cable.

I had that before too, but it was my battery. Try jump starting it, or get a new battery. My electrical were still working fine, wasn't enough juice to turn over the engine. Yeah and also check the main fuse, like Xseven said.
