12-year-old Alma and her father, Filip, move to a new neighborhood after her mother, an environmental activist and photojournalist, passes away. It turns out that their new neighborhood is a skateboarding nest of her classmate Luna. Not only do Alma and Luna not get along – they're outright enemies!
When Alma discovers that her father's company plans to demolish the playground to build a parking lot, she gets determined to save the green space. Alma has no choice but to join forces with her worst enemies – Luna's skate gang.
The team has one week to save the playground and failure is not an option. When their protest fails, they decide to “kill” the excavators by stealing their most valuable parts – the alternators.
The battle over the playground evolves into a conflict about unity and forgiving one another.
