Plots:
In Bodeen, Texas, an indie-rock-loving misfit finds a way of dealing with small-town misery after discovering a roller derby league in nearby Austin.
In a town near Austin, Bliss Cavendar’s strong-willed mom believes that 17-year-old Bliss can win pageants, which she considers the key to a happy life. Bliss isn’t the beauty pageant type: she’s shy and quiet and has just one friend:Pash, her fellow waitress at a diner. Things change for Bliss when she discovers a women’s roller-derby league in Austin, tries out, proves to be whip-fast, and makes the team. Now she needs to become someone tough on the rink, keep her parents from finding out where she goes twice a week, and do something about her first crush, on a musician she meets at the derby. Meanwhile, Mom still sees Bliss as Miss Bluebonnet. Things are on a collision course; will everyone get banged up?
In Bodeen, Texas, teenage girl Bliss Cavendar is sick of her mother, Brooke, forcing her to compete in beauty pageants. While shopping, Bliss joins the world of roller derby: she lies about her age and joins the team. Through the next stretch of time he falls in love, betrays her best friend, and gets betrayed herself. Then her mother finds out about the roller derby.
