Alyah Marie aka Hoops is the straight-A student in Mr. Leroy's 5th-grade class. She's admired by most of her classmates and adored by the teachers at Elite Public Charter School. Everyone seems to have a plan for Alyah's bright future but there's just one problem. She doesn't want to be a lawyer or a doctor like the grown-ups all suggest. Instead, she wants to be a WNBA superstar. With that in mind, her mother doesn't approve of her playing ball, and to make matters worse, her school doesn't even allow girls to join the team. Overwhelmed with social injustices all around her, Alyah is motivated to make a difference not only in her community but in the world through her love for sports. What will Alyah do when the world tries to stop her from chasing her dreams?
