Five Texas teens raise calves and navigate faith, girlhood, and competition in a rural barn.
In a rural East Texas barn, five teenage girls prepare calves for competition while navigating the tangled terrain of adolescence. As they wrestle with school expectations, religious beliefs, and the complex rules of small-town life, their bonds are tested in unexpected ways. Faith, friendship, and survival collide in a world where tenderness can be as unruly as the animals they raise.
Written by Libby Carr, Calf Scramble presents a darkly comedic take on the pressures of growing up under the gaze of both peers and tradition.
