Riley is the formidable backspot on her mid-level cheerleading squad but is given an opportunity to join the Thunderhawks, a high performance All Star team. Young, ambitious and fiercely in love with her girlfriend Amanda, Riley would be on top of the world if only she could get her crippling anxiety under control. Overwhelmed, obsessive and with a competition looming, Riley must decipher her own voice from the women around her, and form a healthier relationship to the sport that she loves.
