Andrea Wallace is a 13-year-old girl who, following in her father’s footsteps, dreams of playing on her school’s football team. But Mia, the coach’s daughter and head cheerleader, doesn’t want anyone to overshadow her. She makes Andrea believe that she has given her a tryout to get on the team, but in reality what she has gotten her is a position as a utility girl in order to humiliate her.

But Mia’s plans begin to go awry when Jake, the team captain, realizes that Andrea knows more about football than he lets on. Mia tries to boycott her by hacking into her mobile phone with the help of her submissive sidekick Ashley, in exchange for a spot on the cheerleading squad. What neither Mia nor Ashley know is that Andrea’s smartphone is full of bytes that will do whatever it takes to help their owner.
