Seventeen year-old Russian-American elite gymnast Natalia Laskutin is only one year away from her and her father's ultimate goal, the 2008 Summer Olympics. Her elegance and unique style makes her one of America's top gymnasts, and a true contender for competing and possibly taking home her dream title, the all-around Olympic Gold medal. But when an inevitable injury leaves her torn and off her feet for a few weeks, she is pulled into the "normal" teenage world of parties, and - you guessed it! - boys! With no alternative option, Natalia struggles to fit in in life outside of the gym, while her father (and coach) struggles to watch his daughter fall into the rhythm of teenage-hood. This is a story about first love, and a father-daughter relationship that is put to the test when their common dream is potentially swept away in a heartbeat.
