Just before freshman year, Jessica, the quiet girl on the Texas Twisters, surprises her teammates by going out for the cheerleading squad.

Christina, the Texas Twister hoping to be the first Mexican-American Junior Elite all-around champion at the American Invitational, is side-lined during practice when her vault routine ends with a sharp pain in her ankle.

When twelve-year-old Britt's family moves to Houston so she can train at an elite gym she looks forward to being part of a team, but after alienating the other girls and failing to impress her coaches, Britt begins to figure out what teamwork really means.

Twelve-year-old Noelle Onesti has everything it takes to be an elite gymnast, as was her mother, except the money required to travel and compete since her family's store is not doing well and their house may be going into foreclosure.
