Spoilers ahead
McKenna Brooks [Jade Pettyjohn] competes for Shooting Star gymnastics alongside her best friend Toulane Thomas [Ysa Penarejo], and the two girls share a big dream: they hope to reach the 2016 Olympics someday. For now, their immediate goal is simply to make the regional competitive team. McKenna tirelessly practices back handspring dismounts for her balance beam routine, but her coach Isabelle Manning [Cathy Rigby] reminds her that the move is too advanced for her current level and urges her to stick to the safer dismount for the moment. The chatter among the girls centers on a new teammate, a girl named Sierra [Kally Berard], and a girl from another team who seems guaranteed to snag one of the three spots on the squad.
