Rachel Young is an outstanding gymnast and a perfectionist. Unfortunately her routines don't always measure up to her high-flying standards. Rachel soon comes face-to-face with real perfection when an old Sports Illustrated magazine transports her and her cousin Nate to the year 1976. There the cousins get a chance to witness the gutsy gymnast Nadia Comaneci go for gold at the Montreal Olympics. Rachel soon learns that pluck is as important as perfection.
