As they compete for the coveted Spotlight Solo from Times Square, they learn that competition isn't about winning, but about striving to be their best and bringing out the best in others. Along the way, they explore the city, confront personal struggles, and rekindle an old friendship with a surprise twist - and ultimately shine together on stage in a musical adventure buddy comedy film that celebrates female friendship and following your dreams.
