But when she earns a spot in a globally televised competition to form the next K-pop girl group, she travels to Seoul, South Korea, to pursue the dream she must still keep hidden. Surrounded by extraordinary performers from around the world, all competing for just four coveted spots, Lizzy must push herself further than she ever imagined.
