Summary:

Suzy Hotrod, one of the world's most renowned roller derby stars, is a Catholic school girl turned punk rocker who has appeared in Sports Illustrated and ESPN. In her fifteenth season, Suzy continues to compete at an elite level against women half her age while confronting the sacrifices she's made to play and the legacy she'll leave behind. Evilicious struggles to get back on skates and pass a skills test after a surprise pregnancy and challenging C-section. Determined, Eva tries to navigate a grueling practice schedule, a fast-paced career, and raising a newborn. She wants to retire on her terms after her fifteenth season, but can she make it through this one? New to derby, newly engaged, and testing a new body after major weight-loss surgery, rookie Captain Smack Sparrow dives into the world of roller derby to challenge her body, build confidence, and gain acceptance into the tribe. When she loses her job shortly before her wedding, everything she's worked for hangs in the balance.
