What the Movie is About

Ida Clayton, who is 12 years old, lives with her mom, Elaine. Ida's summer days are pretty boring. She starts sneaking off to watch exciting rodeo shows.

Ida has never met her father, Walker. Her mom, Elaine, doesn't like to talk about him. This is also why Elaine isn't a big fan of rodeos.

One day, Ida gets an amazing chance. She can travel across America with The Sweethearts of the Rodeo. This is a group of talented young women who perform cool tricks at rodeos. Ida takes the chance, and her mom eventually agrees.

Ida quickly becomes friends with the Sweethearts' managers. They are Terence Parker and his daughter, Rebecca. Ida also gets to know other Sweethearts like Kansas and Madison. She also meets Justin Wood. With their help, Ida goes on a special journey to find her father.
