When social anxiety silences Viola during a class presentation, her teacher sends her to a poetry club, where she discovers the power of her voice.

Middle schooler Viola wants to be heard, but anxiety makes speaking before others feel impossible. After a panic attack during a class presentation, her teacher sends her to Poetry Club to make up the assignment. There, new friends spark her creativity, but a shaky first performance leaves her convinced she doesn’t belong. Hayden urges her to take the stage at WinterFest. At the microphone, Viola shares a poem about the fear that has kept her quiet and discovers that her voice belongs there.
