Daphne is determined to escape her current situation in Oakland with her father. Her yearning is to board the first plane to Prague, where her mother is currently filming a movie. Armed with her grandparents' phone number and her mother's strict instructions to call them if her father relapses into drinking, Daphne is prepared to be cold towards him. However, there is one thing that she cannot resist doing: joining her father and her new friend Arlo at a weekly skate session.
When her father promises to teach her how to perform an ollie, and she successfully executes the trick, Daphne begins to regain her trust in him. He starts to prioritize her, and Daphne realizes that her perception of her father was not as simplistic as she once believed. According to her father, skating is all about embracing failure and moving forward. However, can Daphne truly let go of her father's past mistakes?
Regardless, life can be likened to skating, emphasizing the importance of getting back up after falling. Daphne's journey is filled with challenges and complexities, but her determination to find a better life for herself and her father drives her forward. As she continues to skate and bond with her father and Arlo, Daphne begins to see the world in a new light, one that is filled with hope and possibility.
