It's the mid-1970s, and nine-year-old Julie Albright plays on the boys' basketball team. She wants to perform basketball dribbling for her talent in the school beauty pageant but is teased by girls at school for the thought of it. Julie has to decide if she'll stay true to herself or conform to the norm. While she's at it, she gives an unconventional, yet forward-thinking answer to the interview question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
