Seventeen-year-old Birdie must overcome her desire to blend in so she can help new friend Abigail Rose take her family's amateur wrestling promotion in a new, more feminist direction.

When Birdie's parents move the family from their gated new Jersy community to the Catskills, Birdie thinks life as she knows it is once again -- just like when she quit gymnastics -- completely over. But when Birdie's friends ditch her during a dare gone wrong, she finds herself staring down the barrel of a shotgun wielded by Mad Mabel, former professional wrestler turned owner of the strangest store in town, and Birdie strikes a deal with Mabel to work off her crime in Mabel's shop. Abigail Rose, Mabel's granddaughter, may be the town outcast, but she's also convinced that Birdie is destined to help pull her family's male-dominated indie wrestling promotion in a more feminist direction. With no way to return to or escape from her past and no clear course into her future, Birdie has to find a way to someone make her new town a home. But if Birdie is going to be the future of Mayhe, she first has to find a way to embrace who she is -- no matter the cost.
