With medical bills due, Ernesto must race from dumpster to dumpster to pay for the day's treatment.

Audience Short: Rock, Paper, Destiny

In the high-stakes Rock Paper Scissors league, Westside High School’s ill-fated team of misfits is facing Eastern High School’s cocky, undefeated champion. But if Westside loses again, they’ll lose funding for all their after-school programs.

Inspired by an unlikely mentor, the team’s timid watergirl, Zelda, steps up to the challenge. But she’s haunted by her own sordid family history, as well as self-doubt, on her way to mastering the key RPS moves that could give her pitiful team a fighting chance.

Can Zelda overcome her dark family legacy to prove to the world she’s more than just a watergirl?
