Middle school ends and the holidays start – but unlike her sisters, Summer has no time for lazy days and beach parties. The audition becomes her obsession, and things start spiralling out of control. But the more Summer tries to find perfection, the more lost she feels. Will she finally see that dreams come in all shapes and sizes?
