Football star Charlie has the world at her feet. With a top club desperate to sign her, her future is seemingly mapped out. But the teenager sees only a nightmare. Raised as a boy, Charlie is torn between wanting to live up to her father's expectations and shedding this ill fitting skin.

Faced with numerous obstacles and pressure to exceed her Mums expectations, 12-year-old Liverpudlian tomboy Aliza tries her best to raise money to save her fathers dance studio from permanent closure. While adapting to new London inner-city life, Aliza finds comfort in Teon, a shy, charming boy who lives in her block of flats and finds a new rival in national sweetheart and triple threat, Sophie Wallis. This coming of age tale depicts the story of being more than your surroundings with song, dance and grit taking centre stage.
