Nayla, a Muslim teenager in small-town America, tries out for her new high school’s cheerleading squad. Her performance is perfect, but the judging panel won't let her join unless she takes off her headscarf. Nayla doesn't want to compromise her beliefs but she doesn't want to give up her dreams either, so she'll have to find her own special way of complying with both worlds… and challenging them.
