Directed and executive produced by Greg Whitely from fellow sports series Last Chance U, the docuseries follows the cheer squad of fourteen-time NCA National Champions, Navarro College. Netflix’s synopsis reads:

The stakes on the mat are high, but for these athletes, the only thing more brutal than their workouts and more exceptional than their performances are the stories of adversity and triumph behind the team members themselves.
