Ten-year-old Raymie enters the Little Miss Florida Central Tire pageant because she hopes her father, who has left home, will see her name in the newspaper and return. While learning baton twirling, she meets Louisiana Elefante and Beverly Tapinski. In a small Florida town during the 1970s, the three girls form an unlikely friendship that is not always easy. Each carries private difficulties, and their bond grows as they learn more about one another and themselves through a series of funny and painful experiences.
