An eclectic group of kids vie for the ultimate spelling trophy and along the way we learn their hopes and the humorous stories of their lives. As the contestants navigate their way through increasingly complex words, the adults (and a few audience members) help and hinder their progress. This hilarious and warmhearted tale of overachievers’ angst celebrates the triumph of doing the best you can.
