Lina Cruz is a tough, sharp-witted Latina cheerleader from East L.A. who transfers to a posh West Los Angeles high school after her widowed mother remarries a wealthy man. Lina not only feels out-of-her-environment at her new high school but she also faces off against Avery, the snobbish and ultra-competitive all-star cheerleading captain to qualify for a spot on her new school's cheerleading squad with help from her sheltered new stepsister Skylar, and from her former teammates.—matt-282
