Storyline:
The film follows aspiring musical superstar Sam, a young woman driven, at almost any cost, to break into the music business. So, when her father worries that Sam is associating with a dangerous crowd, and moves them from Los Angeles to Atlanta to live with Sam’s sunny cousin, Jess, Sam is… not happy.
But when Sam is forced to join her cousin’s struggling, underdog praise team in the lead-up to a national championship competition, she sees an opportunity to finally make her dreams come true. What she discovers, though, is that ambition can command a high price and that praise is not about glory, but gratitude
