13-year-old Nat Beacon loves a lot of things: her dog Warbucks, her best friend Chloe, and competing on her wheelchair racing team, the Zoomers, to name a few. She's obsessed with musicals, but has never been to one, or seen an actor who uses a wheelchair for mobility on stage. Would someone like Nat ever get cast? But when Nat's family moves from California to New Jersey, Nat stumbles upon auditions for a kids' production of Wicked, one of her favourites! And she gets into the ensemble! The other cast members are super cool and inclusive (well, most of them) - especially Malik, the male lead and cutest boy she's ever seen. But when things go awry a week before opening night, will Nat be able to cast her fears and insecurities aside and 'Defy Gravity' in every sense of the song title?
