Tarrenton High’s newest cheerleading squad is quickly discovering that the stakes are high on and off the field. For Jessica, cheer is a refuge from home turmoil; for Sean, it’s a way to gain attention from girls; and for Tara, it’s the path to stardom. An eager observer, Olivia, senses that these individual goals are pulling the team apart just as fast as the routines pull them together. The story follows the girls as they confront their personal conflicts and learn that success in cheer—and in life—depends on building a true, supportive team.
