Blanca is a rebellious tween girl who does BMX biking, her mother disapproves her habit and often forbids her doing it, but she still practices daily behind her mother's back. She is overjoyed when she is handed poster for a BMX racing tournament comes up and the prize is $100,000, but since she's too young, she needs a parent to sign her in, but her mom refuses. Since she does not have a dad, she decides to do a casting to find an actor she can use to play that role to motivate her and to also sign her in without her mom noticing, which is proven to be a difficult task due to her short temper and her mom being very suspicious about it, but she tries her best to overcome those challenges and forget the worrying thoughts of her mother.
