When Birdie's parents move the family from their gated New Jersey community to the Catskills, Birdie thinks life as she knows it is once again-just like it was 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 the Mother of Mayhem, and Birdie strikes a deal with Mabel to work off her crime. Abigail Rose, Mabel's granddaughter, is convinced that Birdie-whose big, strong arms have always felt like the bane of her existence-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 her past and no clear course into her future, Birdie has to find a way to somehow make her new town a home. But if Birdie is going to be the future of Mayhem, she first has to find a way to embrace who she is-no matter the cost.
