Marti (Aly Michalka), an indie rocker chick with an attitude, is smart, resourceful and studying law at Memphis' Lancer University. Studying aside, she spends most of her days observing from the edge, mothering her mom, Wanda, and hanging out with her best bud, Dan (Matt Barr).

But when Marti's funding for law school is lost, her only chance to stay in school is to win a scholarship awarded to members of the Hellcats, the school's competitive cheerleading squad -- which is pretty much the last thing Marti wants to do.

Formerly one of the nation's top squads, the Hellcats have struggled to regain their glory, and know they must place at the upcoming qualifiers or disband the squad.

Savannah (Ashley Tisdale), the captain of the Hellcats, is a Southern belle with an unparalleled passion for the sport. Lewis (Robbie Jones) is a former football player and wrestler who enjoys the high-profile life of a cheerleader (and being around all those girls).

When assistant captain Alice (Heather Hemmens) gets hurt, the Hellcats find themselves in dire need of a flyer - someone with athletic agility who can be tossed in the air with ease.

With her background and natural ability in gymnastics, Marti could be a perfect fit.

Coached by Vanessa (Sharon Leal), who took the Hellcats to national acclaim 10 years earlier, the Hellcats may have a shot.
