When Bliss and her best friend Pash take a trip to Austin, Bliss thinks she's found her calling, The Roller Derby is the exact thing she's been looking for. Knowing her mother would be far from impressed if she announced her new calling, Bliss starts to lead a double life, by day she's a normal student and works at her local diner but at night, her alter ego Babe Ruthless is fast becoming one of the best skaters on their team.
