Woody is a simple girl growing up in a small midwestern city in urban America in a close-knit family. Surrounded by a wacky bunch of extended family members, she spends her leisure playing basketball with her younger brother Goody. Basketball serves as an endearing past time that gets her through life's ups and downs at the fledgling age of 10. Woody dreams bigger than her surroundings. She wants to be a star performer. But when Hollywood comes knocking, she has to choose between auditioning at a city-wide talent call or her commitment to a neighborhood event that was all her idea.
