Sixteen is a big year — birthday candles, keys to the car, homecoming dances, and chasing gold medal dreams. For Bailey, June, and Emily, three teen friends growing up in a new era of women’s sports, the opportunities have never been bigger but neither have the expectations. As Instagram fans and college offers accumulate, the girls enjoy a collective rise to the top. When they have to battle each other for a spot to play for Team USA, the girls’ sisterhood is tested—not everyone will get to skate for gold. Win or lose, can they make this the sweetest year of their lives?
