Synopsis

New girl Bel transfers to an elite LA prep school still reeling from her parents' divorce, expecting to coast through senior year unnoticed. When a class project reveals she has a real knack for robotics, she's recruited onto the school's competitive robotics team by its intense captain, Mateo "Teo" Luna.

The two clash constantly, Bel doesn't care about winning Nationals, and Teo cares too much, but the long nights spent building a competition robot together turn rivalry into something else. A funny, warm STEM rom-com that doubles as a sharp look at what it's like to be a girl in a boys' club.
