Plot summary
Wanda Holloway lives in Channelview, Texas, where her father refused to let her try out for her school's cheerleading team. She enrolls her daughter Shanna in dance and gymnastics to improve the girl's chances of making the squad, and drills her through long sessions even when she is sick or hurt. Verna Heath, Wanda's best friend, lives next door with her daughter Amber, who is Shanna's age and her friend; Verna was a varsity twirler and wants the same for Amber. In the months before the tryouts, jealousy grows between the two mothers, though the daughters' friendship holds, and Wanda pushes Shanna to think of nothing but cheerleading.
