Amidst homophobic slurs, skepticism, and the pressures of being a teen athlete, Parker must prove not only her skill on the field but her strength off it. Her best friend and longtime crush, Emma Williams, is a straight-A student with her eyes set on Stanford.

As Parker navigates the challenges of high school sports, first crushes, and family dynamics, including her supportive but hardworking single mother, she must also confront what it truly means to take risks, both on the field and in her heart.
